NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt-modules package and not the kernel-rt-modules package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s core dump subsystem. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. Only if patch 390031c94211 ("coredump: Use the vma snapshot in fill_files_note") not applied yet, then kernel could be affected.
