CVE-2020-0430

An out of bounds memory read flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the eBPF code verifier. A user passing corrupted data to a helper function could access data inside the adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() function. By default, the eBPF verifier is only accessible to users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges. The lack of proper validation of user-supplied eBPF programs prior to execution is the cause of this issue which could lead to a local user's ability to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system.
