CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2163
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
Description The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in BPF verifier caused by improper marking of
registers for precision tracking in certain situations. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
