A flaw was found in the BCC toolset. This issue occurs when extracting kernel headers, it tries to load them from a temporary directory.

Description TEJ RATHI 2024-03-11 14:35:31 UTC 
If kernel headers need to be extracted, bcc will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default.
