CVE-2024-49850 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: correctly handle malformed BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL relos
In case of malformed relocation record of kind BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL
referencing a non-existing BTF type, function bpf_core_calc_relo_insn
would cause a null pointer deference.
Fix this by adding a proper check upper in call stack, as malformed
relocation records could be passed from user space.
Simplest reproducer is a program:
r0 = 0
exit
With a single relocation record:
.insn_off = 0, /* patch first instruction */
.type_id = 100500, /* this type id does not exist */
.access_str_off = 6, /* offset of string "0" */
.kind = BPF_CORE_TYPE_ID_LOCAL,
See the link for original reproducer or next commit for a test case.
