Description
The BPF interpreter fails to detect when the end of the filter program buffer is reached due to a missing return instruction, or when a jump instruction uses an offset that points outside the buffer. In specific uncommon scenarios, a crafted filter program can force the interpreter to read OS process memory within a 32GiB range around the buffer on 64-bit architectures, or across the entire address space on 32-bit architectures.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
