Description
The issue is related to the perf bpf in the Linux Kernel, where a string is not freed after a possible strlen() call on it. This could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities, although the actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven. The issue was introduced in version v5.8 and is fixed in version v5.10.102.
Recommendations
For Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.10.102, update to version v5.10.102 or later to resolve the issue.
