NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tpm2-tss package and not the tpm2-tss package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Missing initialization of a variable in the TPM2 source may allow a privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access. This affects tpm2-tss before 3.0.1 and before 2.4.3.
