cve 2024 58098

CVE-2024-58098 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the eBPF verifier, where the computation of the changes_pkt_data property for global subprograms could miss packet-pointer invalidation triggered by certain helper calls. This flaw is a correctness fix rather than a remotely exploitable security hole. Microsoft's advisory lists Azure Linux as a product that includes the affected kernel code, making it potentially impacted. The tag covers discussions about the technical details of the eBPF verifier patch and the product-level attestation for Azure Linux, emphasizing that the advisory is an inventory statement rather than an active exploitation warning.
