CVE-2024-43838
Last modified
CVE-2024-43838 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix overflow check in adjust_jmp_off() adjust_jmp_off() incorrectly used the insn->imm field for all overflow check, which is incorrect as that should only be done or the BPF_JMP32 | BPF_JA case, not the general jump instruction case. Fix it by using insn->off for overflow check in the general case.. EPSS estimates a 0.18% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
