NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool package and not the bpftool package as distributed by Centos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip: Fix data-races around sysctl_ip_fwd_update_priority.

While reading sysctl_ip_fwd_update_priority, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.
