How to fix?

Upgrade torvalds/linux to version 5.10.259, 5.15.210, 6.1.176, 6.6.143, 6.12.94, 6.18.36, 7.0.13 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds in the reuseport_select_sock process. An attacker can cause kernel memory corruption, potentially leading to privilege escalation, information disclosure, or denial of service by racing the replacement or detachment of a classic BPF program on a UDP reuseport group while concurrently sending packets to trigger use-after-free conditions.

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
