CVE-2017-18367 (GCVE-0-2017-18367)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-04-24 20:02 – Updated: 2024-08-05 21:20
VLAI
Summary
libseccomp-golang 0.9.0 and earlier incorrectly generates BPFs that OR multiple arguments rather than ANDing them. A process running under a restrictive seccomp filter that specified multiple syscall arguments could bypass intended access restrictions by specifying a single matching argument.
