Descriptions
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."
kernel/bpf/verifier.c en el kernel de Linux hasta la versión 4.14.8 gestiona de manera incorrecta las comparaciones states_equal entre el tipo de datos del puntero y el tipo de datos UNKNOWN_VALUE, lo que permite que usuarios locales obtengan información de direcciones sensible. Esto también se conoce como "pointer leak".
