Linux kernel is vulnerable to Denial Of Service (DoS). The vulnerability exists due to the use after free in the SGI GRU driver because of the way the first gru_file_unlocked_ioctl function is called by the user, where a failed pass occurs in the gru_check_chiplet_assignment function, allowing an attacker to cause an application crash or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
