Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Memory Corruption: A memory corruption vulnerability occurred in VethPeerIndex due to a buffer overflow when the kernel returned more ethtool stats than the hardcoded struct size allocated. Attackers or malicious environments could exploit this mismatch to corrupt the stack during netlink queries. Ensure dynamic sizing based on actual kernel reported size rather than hardcoded assumptions.
