Linux CVE-2024-58100

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

bpf: check changes_pkt_data property for extension programs

When processing calls to global sub-programs, verifier decides whether to invalidate all packet pointers in current state depending on the changes_pkt_data property of the global sub-program.

Because of this, an extension program replacing a global sub-program must be compatible with changes_pkt_data property of the sub-program being replaced.

This commit:

• adds changes_pkt_data flag to struct bpf_prog_aux:
• this flag is set in check_cfg() for main sub-program;
• in jit_subprogs() for other sub-programs;
• modifies bpf_check_attach_btf_id() to check changes_pkt_data flag;
• moves call to check_attach_btf_id() after the call to check_cfg(),

because it needs changes_pkt_data flag to be set:

bpf_check: ... ...

• check_attach_btf_id resolve_pseudo_ldimm64

resolve_pseudo_ldimm64 --> bpf_prog_is_offloaded bpf_prog_is_offloaded check_cfg check_cfg + check_attach_btf_id ... ...

The following fields are set by check_attach_btf_id():

• env->ops
• prog->aux->attach_btf_trace
• prog->aux->attach_func_name
• prog->aux->attach_func_proto
• prog->aux->dst_trampoline
• prog->aux->mod
• prog->aux->saved_dst_attach_type
• prog->aux->saved_dst_prog_type
• prog->expected_attach_type

Neither of these fields are used by resolve_pseudo_ldimm64() or bpf_prog_offload_verifier_prep() (for netronome and netdevsim drivers), so the reordering is safe.
