Doc Text:
An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem in how a user calls the bpf_tail_call function with a key larger than the max_entries of the map. This flaw allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to data.

Description Marian Rehak 2022-08-26 16:43:58 UTC 
A  bug in the x86 BPF JIT compiler. A bpf_tail_call with a key larger than the max_entries of the map can cause an out-of-bound access when the x86 JIT compiler tries to index bpf_array->ptr using the invalid key.
