Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the bpf_probe_read process. An attacker can access sensitive kernel memory by supplying a crafted pointer via a local process that issues a specific ioctl command. This is only exploitable if Java TLS instrumentation is enabled and the host allows loading of the BPF program.
