NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel-rt package and not the kernel-devel-rt package as distributed by SLES.

A race condition in the Linux kernel before 5.6.2 between the VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl and closing/opening of ttys could lead to a use-after-free.
