A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-27171) Piotr Krysiuk discovered that the BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly apply speculative execution limits on some pointer types. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-27170)
