Overview

CVE-2025-22087 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on April 16, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_goto

may_goto uses an additional 8 bytes on the stack, which causes the

interpreters[] array to go out of bounds when calculating index by

stack_size.

1. If a BPF program is rewritten, re-evaluate the stack size. For non-JIT

cases, reject loading directly.

2. For non-JIT cases, calculating interpreters[idx] may still cause

out-of-bounds array access, and just warn about it.

3. For jit_requested cases, the execution of bpf_func also needs to be

warned. So move the definition of function __bpf_prog_ret0_warn out of

the macro definition CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2025-22087?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2025-22087 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
