Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-30 13:16:13 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Prevent decl_tag from being referenced in func_proto arg

Syzkaller managed to hit another decl_tag issue:

  btf_func_proto_check kernel/bpf/btf.c:4506 [inline]
  btf_check_all_types kernel/bpf/btf.c:4734 [inline]
  btf_parse_type_sec+0x1175/0x1980 kernel/bpf/btf.c:4763
  btf_parse kernel/bpf/btf.c:5042 [inline]
  btf_new_fd+0x65a/0xb00 kernel/bpf/btf.c:6709

  __sys_bpf+0x50a/0x6c0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5034
  __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5093 [inline]
  __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5091 [inline]
  __x64_sys_bpf+0x7c/0x90 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5091
  do_syscall_64+0x54/0x70 arch/x86/entry/common.c:48

This seems similar to commit ea68376c8bed ("bpf: prevent decl_tag from being
referenced in func_proto") but for the argument.
