Last modified
CVE-2018-25020 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel before 4.17 mishandles situations with a long jump over an instruction sequence where inner instructions require substantial expansions into multiple BPF instructions, leading to an overflow. This affects kernel/bpf/core.c and net/core/filter.c.. EPSS estimates a 0.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
