| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s eBPF verification code, where the eBPF 32-bit div/mod source register truncation could lead to out-of-bounds reads and writes. By default, accessing the eBPF verifier is only possible to privileged users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN. This flaw allows a local user who can run eBPF instructions to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

It was discovered that eBPF 32-bit div/mod source register truncation could lead to out-of-bounds reads and writes in the kernel. It was introduced by commit 68fda450a7df ("bpf: fix 32-bit divide by zero"). It was first introduced in 4.15-rc9, but backported and applied to v4.14.y, v4.9.y and v4.4.y. However, this specific attack will not work on v4.4.y and v4.9.y kernels as pointer arithmetic is prohibited on those kernels. This was introduced by commit f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking"), in v4.14-rc1. The fix is commit e88b2c6e5a4d ("bpf: Fix 32 bit src register truncation on div/mod"), introduced in v5.11. It was backported and applied on v5.10.y and v5.4.y, but not v4.19.y and v4.14.y.
