In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: prevent leak of lsm program after failed attach
In [0], we added the ability to bpf_prog_attach LSM programs to cgroups,
but in our validation to make sure the prog is meant to be attached to
BPF_LSM_CGROUP, we return too early if the check fails. This results in
lack of decrementing prog's refcnt (through bpf_prog_put)
leaving the LSM program alive past the point of the expected lifecycle.
This fix allows for the decrement to take place.

A reference count leak was found in the BPF subsystem. When attaching a BPF LSM program to a cgroup fails validation, the program's reference count is not decremented, causing the BPF program to remain loaded indefinitely.
Отчет
This requires CAP_BPF or CAP_SYS_ADMIN to trigger, as loading BPF programs is a privileged operation. The leak accumulates memory over repeated failed attach attempts but does not provide privilege escalation.
