CVE-2023-2163 is an incorrect verifier-pruning vulnerability in the Linux kernel BPF/eBPF implementation. The BPF verifier can incorrectly mark unsafe code paths as safe, allowing malicious BPF programs to bypass intended verifier safety assumptions and perform arbitrary reads and writes in kernel memory.
