NVD Description

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 use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s SGI GRU driver in the way the first gru_file_unlocked_ioctl function is called by the user, where a fail pass occurs in the gru_check_chiplet_assignment function. This flaw allows a local user to crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
