Description Alex 2022-10-06 09:55:12 UTC 
A use after free flaw in the Linux Kernel SGI GRU driver in drivers/misc/sgi-gru/grufile.c found. A local user can call gru_file_unlocked_ioctl with GRU_SET_CONTEXT_OPTION and then triggering error path in gru_check_context_placement function. This leads to use after free in gru_unload_context function.
