Discussion
Linux Kernel 'bpf_jit_compile()' Function Denial of Service Vulnerability
The Linux kernel is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability due to an off-by-one error.
Attackers can exploit this issue to cause the kernel to crash, resulting in a denial-of-service condition. Due to the nature of this issue a privilege-escalation may be possible, however this has not been confirmed.
