Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass BPF verifier memory-access checks.

The vulnerability exists due to numeric truncation in the BPF verifier's check_kfunc_args() function when processing rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments larger than U32_MAX. A local user can load a BPF program that supplies an oversized buffer-size argument to bypass BPF verifier memory-access checks.
