NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-devel package and not the kernel-64k-debug-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Incorrect verifier pruning in BPF in Linux Kernel >=5.4 leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly marked as safe, resulting in arbitrary read/write in kernel memory, lateral privilege escalation, and container escape.
