NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-vanilla-base package and not the kernel-vanilla-base package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.20.6 performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to side-channel attacks.
