If those accesses\nare with sign-extenstion, the verification will fail.\n\n  [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/000000000000c90eee061d236d37@google.com/","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4b48228eebce2ab1b01e3133da822164472b7e46","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/92de36080c93296ef9005690705cba260b9bd68a","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f09757fe97a225ae505886eac572e4cbfba96537","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f1620c93a1ec950d87ef327a565d3907736d3340"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:56:33.105311382+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-47702","score":0.00213,"percentile":0.11519,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
