| Revision Date: | 2017-12-27 | Version: | 1 | | Title: | CVE-2017-17864 on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) - low. | | Description: | kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 mishandles states_equal comparisons between the pointer data type and the UNKNOWN_VALUE data type, which allows local users to obtain potentially sensitive address information, aka a "pointer leak." Jann Horn discovered that the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) implementation in the Linux kernel mishandled pointer data values in some situations. A local attacker could use this to to expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
