Yes, bugs in Linux are possible, so there might be some eBPF code that crashes the kernel. Just like bugs in Chrome are possible, so there might be some JavaScript that crashes the browser. Still, JavaScript is much safer than native code, because fixing the bugs in one implementation is a tractable problem, whereas fixing the bugs in all user code is not.
