CVE-2017-9150: Linux Kernel

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The do_check function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.11.1 does not make the allow_ptr_leaks value available for restricting the output of the print_bpf_insn function, which allows local users to obtain sensitive address information via crafted bpf system calls.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: up to and including 4.10.9
