CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free.
The vulnerability exists due to improper preservation of map identity in BPF verifier callback frame constructors when invoking timer callbacks on nested inner maps. A local user can pair a timer from a second inner map with a first inner map and free the first map to trigger a use-after-free.
