CVE-2017-17862

5.5 mediumEPSS 0.4%

Medium (5.5). EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.8 ignores unreachable code, even though it would still be processed by JIT compilers. This behavior, also considered an improper branch-pruning logic issue, could possibly be used by local users for denial of service.
