NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool package and not the bpftool package as distributed by RHEL.
A use-after-free exists in the Linux Kernel in tc_new_tfilter that could allow a local attacker to gain privilege escalation. The exploit requires unprivileged user namespaces. We recommend upgrading past commit 04c2a47ffb13c29778e2a14e414ad4cb5a5db4b5
