NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftrace package and not the bpftrace package as distributed by AlmaLinux.
See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
If kernel headers need to be extracted, bpftrace will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default.
