CVE-2017-13183 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In the OMXNodeInstance::useBuffer and IOMX::freeBuffer functions, there is a possible use after free due to a race condition if the user frees the buffer while it's being used in another thread. This could lead to a local elevation of privilege enabling code execution as a privileged process with no additional execution privileges needed. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
