DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Mark bpf prog stack with kmsan_unposion_memory in interpreter mode

syzbot reported uninit memory usages during map_{lookup,delete}_elem.

== BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in __dev_map_lookup_elem kernel/bpf/devmap.c:441 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in dev_map_lookup_elem+0xf3/0x170 kernel/bpf/devmap.c:796 __dev_map_lookup_elem kernel/bpf/devmap.c:441 [inline] dev_map_lookup_elem+0xf3/0x170 kernel/bpf/devmap.c:796 ____bpf_map_lookup_elem kernel/bpf/helpers.c:42 [inline] bpf_map_lookup_elem+0x5c/0x80 kernel/bpf/helpers.c:38 ___bpf_prog_run+0x13fe/0xe0f0 kernel/bpf/core.c:1997 __bpf_prog_run256+0xb5/0xe0 kernel/bpf/core.c:2237 ==

The reproducer should be in the interpreter mode.

The C reproducer is trying to run the following bpf prog:

0: (18) r0 = 0x0 2: (18) r1 = map[id:49] 4: (b7) r8 = 16777216 5: (7b) *(u64 *)(r10 -8) = r8 6: (bf) r2 = r10 7: (07) r2 += -229 ^^^^^^^^^^

8: (b7) r3 = 8 9: (b7) r4 = 0 10: (85) call dev_map_lookup_elem#1543472 11: (95) exit

It is due to the "void *key" (r2) passed to the helper. bpf allows uninit stack memory access for bpf prog with the right privileges. This patch uses kmsan_unpoison_memory() to mark the stack as initialized.

This should address different syzbot reports on the uninit "void *key" argument during map_{lookup,delete}_elem.

AnalysisAI

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Mark bpf prog stack with kmsan_unposion_memory in interpreter mode syzbot reported uninit memory usages during. Rated medium severity (CVSS 5.5), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. This Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability could allow attackers to access uninitialized memory causing crashes or information disclosure.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Use of Uninitialized Resource (CWE-908), which allows attackers to access uninitialized memory causing crashes or information disclosure.
