Local privilege escalation via BPF trie overflow
Published Nov 9, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
An out-of-bounds write in Linux kernel BPF LPM trie iteration allows local users to corrupt kernel memory through a crafted trie. trie_get_next_key allocates a stack for max_prefixlen nodes but records max_prefixlen plus one nodes when traversing a complete root-to-leaf path. A local user with a readable LPM_TRIE map descriptor can cause a kernel crash or gain elevated privileges without user interaction.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=V3.1.0 <V3.1.5
