Attack conditions (NVD, CVSS 3.1): Local · Low privileges required · No user interaction required

What an attacker can do

A local attacker with the permissions to insert eBPF code to the kernel can use this to leak internal kernel memory details defeating some of the exploit mitigations in place for the kernel. NVD’s CVSS 3.1 assessment (base score 5.5/10) rates confidentiality impact as high; integrity and availability impact as none.
