CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in bpf_kprobe_multi_link_attach() when attaching a sleepable kprobe_multi program. A local user can attach a sleepable program that invokes sleepable helpers from a non-sleepable context to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered because kprobe.multi programs run in atomic/RCU context and cannot sleep.
