** Description changed:

- double-free/use-after-free in eBPF
+ The replace_map_fd_with_map_ptr function in kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the
+ Linux kernel before 4.5.5 does not properly maintain an fd data
+ structure, which allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial
+ of service (use-after-free) via crafted BPF instructions that reference
+ an incorrect file descriptor.
  
  Break-Fix: 1be7f75d1668d6296b80bf35dcf6762393530afc
