Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-default-man package and not the kernel-default-man package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel’s cgroup_release_agent_write in the kernel/cgroup/cgroup-v1.c function. This flaw, under certain circumstances, allows the use of the cgroups v1 release_agent feature to escalate privileges and bypass the namespace isolation unexpectedly.
