Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When the BPF Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler processes subprograms, a memory leak can occur. If JIT compilation fails for a subprogram, the bpf_jit_free() function does not properly free the associated memory for the JIT context offsets array. This can lead to a gradual consumption of system memory, potentially impacting system stability and availability.
