Description

It has been discovered that kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.14.9 and 4.9.72 does not check the relationship between pointer values and the BPF stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (integer overflow or invalid memory access) or possibly have unspecified other impact.
