Summary

OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler starting in version 0.0.202527 and prior to version 0.0.202622 allows an unprivileged process to cause the profiler to open a nonregular mapping file, such as a FIFO, and block indefinitely, preventing further ELF analysis and causing a denial of service.

Risk Assessment

This may lead to denial of service by blocking the profiler and preventing its normal operation. No known workarounds are available.

Recommendation

Update OpenTelemetry eBPF Profiler to version 0.0.202622, which contains a patch.
