In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix a kernel verifier crash in stacksafe() Daniel Hodges reported a kernel verifier crash when playing with sched-ext. Further investigation shows that the crash is due to invalid memory access in stacksafe(). More specifically, it is the following code: if (exact != NOTEXACT && old->stack[spi].slottype[i % BPFREGSIZE] != cur->stack[spi].slottype[i % BPFREGSIZE]) return false; The 'i' iterates old->allocatedstack. If cur->allocatedstack < old->allocatedstack the out-of-bound access will happen. To fix the issue add 'i >= cur->allocatedstack' check such that if the condition is true, stacksafe() should fail. Otherwise, cur->stack[spi].slottype[i % BPFREGSIZE] memory access is legal.
