[Impact]
 Juan Jose Lopez Jaimez, Meador Inge, Simon Scannell, and Nenad Stojanovski
 discovered that the BPF verifier in the Linux kernel did not properly mark
 registers for precision tracking in certain situations, leading to an out-
 of-bounds access vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a
 denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

[Potential regression]
eBPF users may notice regressions.
