A use after free vulnerability in conn_gadget driver prior to SMR AUG-2021 Release 1 allows malicious action by an attacker.
The product dereferences a pointer that contains a location for memory that was previously valid, but is no longer valid.
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
