Buffer Overflow Vulnerability in Linux Kernel

CVE-2023-54312

What is CVE-2023-54312?

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Linux kernel's BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) implementation has been addressed. This flaw potentially allows exploitation through the improper handling of TCP's base round-trip time value. The fix involves ensuring that the correct size is used with 'sizeof(nv)' or 'strlen(nv) + 1' to prevent overflow conditions, enhancing overall system security and stability.
