In android for MSM, Firefox OS for MSM, QRD Android, with all Android releases from CAF using the Linux kernel, in the function mdss_rotator_ioctl in the driver /dev/mdss_rotator, a Use-After-Free condition can potentially occur due to a fence being installed too early.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
