CVE-2024-53099 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the BPF subsystem. It involves an out-of-bounds access risk in the bpf_link_show_fdinfo() function when a newly added link type does not invoke BPF_LINK_TYPE(), leading to invalid indexing of bpf_link_type_strs. This flaw could cause a kernel information leak or denial of service due to improper validation of link->type.
