Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2017-17862

Assigned:2017-12-23
Published:2017-11-23
Updated:2018-04-06
Summary:kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 ignores unreachable code, even though it would still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior, also considered an improper branch-pruning logic issue, could possibly be used by local users for denial of service.
