Out-of-Bounds Write in Linux Kernel BPF Stackmap Overflow

Publication date: 2025-12-24

Last updated on: 2025-12-24

Assigner: kernel.org

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix stackmap overflow check in __bpf_get_stackid() Syzkaller reported a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write in __bpf_get_stackid() when copying stack trace data. The issue occurs when the perf trace contains more stack entries than the stack map bucket can hold, leading to an out-of-bounds write in the bucket's data array.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a flaw in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem, specifically in the __bpf_get_stackid() function. It occurs when the perf trace contains more stack entries than the stack map bucket can hold, causing an out-of-bounds write in the bucket's data array. This was identified as a KASAN slab-out-of-bounds write issue reported by Syzkaller.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to memory corruption due to an out-of-bounds write in the kernel's stack map data structure. This could potentially cause system instability, crashes, or be exploited to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
