In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: fix integer overflow in bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check
start and len are u32, so
u64 last = start + len;
evaluates start + len in 32-bit and wraps before storing it in last.
The bounds check
if (start >= offset + l || last > msg->sg.size)
return -EINVAL;
can then be passed with an out-of-range start/len, after which the pop
loop runs off the end of the scatterlist and sk_msg_shift_left() calls
put_page() on the empty msg->sg.end slot:

Widen the addition with a (u64) cast so the bound is evaluated in
64-bit and a len near U32_MAX no longer wraps below msg->sg.size.
While here, change pop from int to u32. It counts bytes against the
unsigned scatterlist lengths and can never be negative, so the signed
type only invites sign-confusion in the pop loop.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
The EG score (8.4): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 8.4 is its impact severity (EG Severity), not escalated.

A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".
