Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.10.52
Description
The issue concerns a potential security vulnerability in the Linux Kernel. It involves the
cgroup component, where the source verification process may be flawed, as it does not properly check if the source is a string. This could potentially lead to security issues, although the actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven. The vulnerability was introduced in version v5.1 and is fixed in version v5.10.52.Recommendations
For Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.10.52, update to version v5.10.52 or later to resolve the issue.
