Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-5.10 package and not the linux-5.10 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in KVM. When calling the KVM_GET_DEBUGREGS ioctl, on 32-bit systems, there might be some uninitialized portions of the kvm_debugregs structure that could be copied to userspace, causing an information leak.
