"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nmedia: vidtv: initialize local pointers upon transfer of memory ownership\n\nvidtv_channel_si_init() creates a temporary list (program, service, event)\nand ownership of the memory itself is transferred to the PAT/SDT/EIT\ntables through vidtv_psi_pat_program_assign(),\nvidtv_psi_sdt_service_assign(), vidtv_psi_eit_event_assign().\n\nThe problem here is that the local pointer where the memory ownership\ntransfer was completed is not initialized to NULL. This causes the\nvidtv_psi_pmt_create_sec_for_each_pat_entry() function to fail, and\nin the flow that jumps to free_eit, the memory that was freed by\nvidtv_psi_*_table_destroy() can be accessed again by\nvidtv_psi_*_event_destroy() due to the uninitialized local pointer, so it\nis freed once again.\n\nTherefore, to prevent use-after-free and double-free vulnerability,\nlocal pointers must be initialized to NULL when transferring memory\nownership."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached through demux ioctls such as DMX_START on a local /dev/dvb/adapter*/demux* device; no network or physical path exists.\nAC:L - In a reasonable vidtv test/debug deployment, the attacker can deterministically target the PMT allocation using per-task fault injection or attacker-induced memory pressure, with no race or victim-controlled timing.\nPR:L - No capability checks occur along the ioctl path; an ordinary local user with the device's video-group or active-seat ACL can trigger it.\nUI:N - Once the vidtv device is present, the attacker independently opens the demux node, configures a filter, and starts the feed without victim action.\nS:U - The corruption occurs within the host kernel reached by a host process and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or separate security-authority boundary.\nC:H - The cleanup dereferences freed list and descriptor pointers, and heap grooming can convert these UAF and double-free conditions into kernel-memory disclosure or arbitrary-read primitives.\nI:H - Repeated frees of EIT, SDT, PAT, and nested descriptor allocations can corrupt allocator freelists and support arbitrary writes or control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The defect demonstrably causes a KASAN kernel panic, while non-instrumented kernels can likewise crash from the UAF, invalid traversal, or double-free."
