CVE-2021-29648
Last modified
CVE-2021-29648 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.11.11. The BPF subsystem does not properly consider that resolved_ids and resolved_sizes are intentionally uninitialized in the vmlinux BPF Type Format (BTF), which can cause a system crash upon an unexpected access attempt (in map_create in kernel/bpf/syscall.c or check_btf_info in kernel/bpf/verifier.c), aka CID-350a5c4dd245.. EPSS estimates a 0.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
