eBPFDivert interacts with the Linux kernel via eBPF. If you discover a vulnerability in the eBPF subsystem itself (e.g. verifier bypass or kernel panic caused by a bug in the BPF JIT/verifier), please report it to the Linux kernel security team.
To help us address the issue quickly, please include:
- A clear description of the vulnerability.
- A minimal reproducible example (PoC) if possible.
- Any potential impact or exploitation scenarios.
eBPFDivert operates at a low level in the network stack and requires CAP_NET_ADMIN and CAP_BPF (or root) privileges. To ensure your system remains secure:
