CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 5.11, 5.16, 5.17, 5.18, 6.1.191, 6.6.160, 6.12.63, 6.17.13, 6.18.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure through the __bpf_get_stackid function. An attacker can cause an out-of-bounds write in the stack map bucket's data array by providing a perf trace containing more stack entries than the bucket can accommodate.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
