Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) subsystem. When updating per-CPU maps on systems configured with non-contiguous CPU identifiers, the kernel incorrectly calculates memory offsets using logical processor IDs instead of dense buffer positions. A local user can exploit this issue to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read, potentially leading to data disclosure or a system crash resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
