CVE-2024-2314 describes a low-severity vulnerability in iovisor bpf_compiler_collection and linux bpf_compiler_collection where an unprivileged attacker could force bcc to load compromised Linux headers from a temporary directory during kernel header extraction. The attack requires high attack complexity and local access, resulting in a low impact of unauthorized modification of data, as reflected by its CVSS score of 2.5. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.

If kernel headers need to be extracted, bcc will attempt to load them from a temporary directory. An unprivileged attacker could use this to force bcc to load compromised linux headers. Linux distributions which provide kernel headers by default are not affected by default.
