Se descubrió un problema en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 6.0.10. En drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c, puede ocurrir un use-after-free si hay una desconexión después de una apertura, debido a la falta de un wait_event.

A race condition flaw leading to a use-after-free issue was found in the Linux kernel media subsystem in the DVB CA EN50221 interface of the DVB core device driver. It could occur in the dvb_ca_en50221_release() function if there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP5 AZURE kernel was updated to receive various security and bug fixes.
