Description
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check pointer type for all atomic RMW paths
Atomic RMW verification records an instruction pointer type only when the
current destination is PTR_TO_ARENA. A second path can therefore reach the
same instruction with an ordinary pointer without comparing it against the
saved arena type.
The post-verification fixup uses the saved type to rewrite the instruction
to BPF_PROBE_ATOMIC for every path. Record the actual destination type for
all atomic RMW paths so the existing mismatch check rejects incompatible
uses of one instruction.
