Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a local user to access out-of-bounds map memory.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of scalar state forking in maybe_fork_scalars() when processing BPF_OR operations with a constant source operand. A local user can execute a crafted BPF program to access out-of-bounds map memory.

The issue is caused by a verifier/runtime divergence when the destination register has a signed range of [-1, 0].


Remediation

Install security update from vendor's repository.
