Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf: Fix crash due to out of bounds access into reg2btf_ids.<br />
<br />
When commit e6ac2450d6de ("bpf: Support bpf program calling kernel function") added<br />
kfunc support, it defined reg2btf_ids as a cheap way to translate the verifier<br />
reg type to the appropriate btf_vmlinux BTF ID, however<br />
commit c25b2ae13603 ("bpf: Replace PTR_TO_XXX_OR_NULL with PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL")<br />
moved the __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX from the last member of bpf_reg_type enum to after<br />
the base register types, and defined other variants using type flag<br />
composition. However, now, the direct usage of reg->type to index into<br />
reg2btf_ids may no longer fall into __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX range, and hence lead to<br />
out of bounds access and kernel crash on dereference of bad pointer.
