| Sažetak |
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix wrong reg type conversion in release_reference()
Some helper functions will allocate memory. To avoid memory leaks, the
verifier requires the eBPF program to release these memories by calling
the corresponding helper functions.
When a resource is released, all pointer registers corresponding to the
resource should be invalidated. The verifier use release_references() to
do this job, by apply __mark_reg_unknown() to each relevant register.
It will give these registers the type of SCALAR_VALUE. A register that
will contain a pointer value at runtime, but of type SCALAR_VALUE, which
may allow the unprivileged user to get a kernel pointer by storing this
register into a map.
Using __mark_reg_not_init() while NOT allow_ptr_leaks can mitigate this
problem. |
