DescriptionCVE.org

PREVAIL is a Polynomial-Runtime EBPF Verifier using an Abstract Interpretation Layer. Prior to version 0.2.4, in the Prevail eBPF verifier, EbpfTransformer::add() silently skips offset-variable updates when the destination register carries a non-singleton typeset (two or more simultaneously possible pointer types). Subsequent bounds checks use the stale offset and accept out-of-bounds memory accesses, so a crafted BPF program passes verification even though it would corrupt memory at runtime. This issue has been patched in version 0.2.4.

AnalysisAI

Verifier bypass in PREVAIL, the polynomial-runtime eBPF verifier (used notably as the abstract-interpretation verifier in ebpf-for-windows), affects all versions prior to 0.2.4. When a destination register carries a non-singleton typeset - two or more simultaneously possible pointer types, e.g. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the ability to submit a crafted eBPF program to a system that uses a pre-0.2.4 PREVAIL as its verifier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a soundness break in a security-critical component: an eBPF verifier's entire purpose is to prove that untrusted bytecode cannot corrupt memory, so a verification bypass that admits out-of-bounds kernel/host memory accesses is high-severity by nature. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to PREVAIL 0.2.4, which invalidates (havocs) all pointer offset variables when a destination register has a non-singleton or union typeset instead of leaving stale offsets - Vendor-released patch: v0.2.4 (release https://github.com/vbpf/prevail/releases/tag/v0.2.4, commit 2b209bc4e3d612ff9aca87125e67c0ff84477e61, advisory GHSA-2qc8-qh94-66rc). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all systems running ebpf-for-windows and determine deployed versions. …
