CVE-2021-29154
BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements, allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context.
HIGH 7.8EPSS 0.93%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.93%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel through 5.11.12 have incorrect computation of branch displacements, allowing them to execute arbitrary code within the kernel context. This affects arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c.
