NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bcc-devel package and not the bcc-devel package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

If kernel headers need to be extracted, bcc 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.
