⚠️ A local user can dive into freed GPU memory, opening a door to potentially sensitive data! 🎭 Think of it like a library with a section that was just closed for renovation. A crafty reader sneaks in and browses through abandoned books that still contain valuable information, even though they should have been removed. 🏛️ This vulnerability allows a non-privileged user to access remnants of data that should have been securely cleared, leading to an exposure of sensitive information. While it might not be catastrophic, the risk of information leaks could be absolutely alarming! 😱
