There is a flaw reported in the Linux kernel in versions before 5.9 in
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_sgdma.c in nouveau_sgdma_create_ttm in
Nouveau DRM subsystem. The issue results from the lack of validating the
existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An
attacker with a local account with a root privilege, can leverage this
vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of the
kernel.

Notes

Author Note
sbeattie kernels with CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED=y (which Ubuntu enables) are probably not affected.
