Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the `media: iris` driver. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs when a buffer is prematurely freed by `session_release_buf()` while `iris_release_internal_buffers()` continues to access it. This improper handling of memory can lead to system instability, crashes, or potentially allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access or execute arbitrary code.
