Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.4.168

Description The issue is related to the netdevsim module, where memory for new map's value is not properly zero-initialized in the function nsim bpf map alloc(). This could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities, although the actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven.
