PVR, HTPC, and broadcast systems enumerate that function at boot, udev bind, or PCI/Thunderbolt hotplug, which is a local PCI probe path, not a network or USB protocol path.\nAC:L - A 1131:7164 function whose BAR0 or BAR2 cannot be reserved (zero-length BAR, overlap with busy iomem, or BAR2 failing after BAR0 was claimed) makes get_resources() return -EBUSY on every probe, so the dangling saa7164_devlist UAF is deterministic with no race or layout lottery the attacker cannot influence.\nPR:N - saa7164_initdev() performs no capability or authentication checks; when a matching PCI function appears, kernel enumeration and udev module autoload run the failing get_resources() path automatically without an OS account or user-namespace privilege.\nUI:N - Probe is invoked automatically by the PCI core and udev-driven module autoload on device enumeration; no victim must open a V4L/DVB node, load firmware, or otherwise interact.\nS:U - The dangling saa7164_devlist pointer and follow-on use-after-free remain inside the host kernel saa7164 driver and do not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox security boundary.\nC:H - After kfree(dev) the global saa7164_devlist still points at the freed saa7164_dev; debugfs seq_start/seq_show and later probes walk that object, so reclaimed heap contents including kernel pointers can be read back — a use-after-free read primitive.\nI:H - The next list_add_tail() or list_del() on saa7164_devlist writes next/prev through the freed list node, corrupting whatever slab object reused that allocation and enabling an arbitrary kernel write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Walking or mutating the dangling saa7164_devlist entry after kfree causes a kernel oops or panic via poisoned-slab dereference or list corruption, fully denying availability."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-core.c"],"versions":[{"version":"443c1228d50518f3c550e1fef490a2c9d9246ce7","lessThan":"daa5b32cdf7db81a07ee2a91ce092a363e7754aa","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"443c1228d50518f3c550e1fef490a2c9d9246ce7","lessThan":"77f216f8de6221efb6f6c471bc9e598f1879825b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"443c1228d50518f3c550e1fef490a2c9d9246ce7","lessThan":"69259c627009bf7621010ae9e997dad2dad3339c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"443c1228d50518f3c550e1fef490a2c9d9246ce7","lessThan":"4d2048466af9e2c960c5be6dcd317e3b657d268b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"443c1228d50518f3c550e1fef490a2c9d9246ce7","lessThan":"fc65623524b5bf23baddc6ae688d954fba0d5de2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"443c1228d50518f3c550e1fef490a2c9d9246ce7","lessThan":"28e84c6e2e6753ed238ea097b2842a32a6a6879b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/media/pci/saa7164/saa7164-core.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2.6.32","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.6.32","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.188","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.157","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.51","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.32","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.188"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.32","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.157"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.32","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.32","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.51"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.32","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.32","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/daa5b32cdf7db81a07ee2a91ce092a363e7754aa"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/77f216f8de6221efb6f6c471bc9e598f1879825b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/69259c627009bf7621010ae9e997dad2dad3339c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d2048466af9e2c960c5be6dcd317e3b657d268b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc65623524b5bf23baddc6ae688d954fba0d5de2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/28e84c6e2e6753ed238ea097b2842a32a6a6879b"}],"title":"media: saa7164: fix cleanup on resource allocation failure","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
