CVE-2017-17863 kernel: integer overflow in static int check_alu_op function in bpf/verifier.c
Last modified: 2018-08-28 18:30:03 EDT
kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel 4.9.x through 4.9.71 does not check the relationship between pointer values and the BPF stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow or invalid memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
