Linux Linux
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Linux kernel是美国Linux基金会开源的一个操作系统内核。 Linux kernel 6.18版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于BPF map-in-map中未正确拒绝排他性映射作为内部映射，可能导致无关程序通过外部映射绕过排他性保证并修改冻结映射内容。

Vulnerability Title
bpf: Reject exclusive maps as inner maps in map-in-map
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject exclusive maps as inner maps in map-in-map An exclusive map (created with excl_prog_hash) is bound to a single program by hash: check_map_prog_compatibility() refuses to load any program whose digest does not match map->excl_prog_sha. That check only runs for maps a program references directly, i.e. its used_maps. A map reached at runtime through a map-of-maps is never in used_maps, and bpf_map_meta_equal() does not consider excl_prog_sha, so an exclusive map can be inserted into a non-exclusive outer map and then looked up and mutated by an unrelated program, bypassing the exclusivity guarantee. For the signed loader this defeats the metadata map exclusivity check added in the signed loader: the cached map->sha[] is validated against the signed hash while another program on a hostile host rewrites the frozen map's contents through the outer map.
