Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150400_15_5-rt package and not the kernel-livepatch-5_14_21-150400_15_5-rt package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.4 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.
