Security controls bypass or absence In kernel

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) subsystem. This vulnerability arises from the kernel's failure to correctly identify and mark active registers during indirect jump operations within the BPF program execution. An attacker could potentially exploit this to manipulate the kernel's state, leading to unexpected system behavior or a bypass of security controls, which may result in information disclosure.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
