Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-17 18:19:06 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

riscv, bpf: Fix missing sign-ext for signed 1-byte and 2-byte kfunc args

On RV64, the ABI requires sign-extension for signed 1-byte and 2-byte kfunc
args. However, the RV64 JIT currently does not perform sign-extension for
such kfunc args.

Before commit 7ce090afbf72 ("bpf: Infer zext_dst based on static register
liveness analysis"), state pruning could potentially omit zero-extension
of 32-bit subregisters, which inadvertently masked the above issue by making
the args appear as if they had been properly sign-extended. After that
commit, the problem is exposed, causing the kfunc_call/kfunc_call_test4
selftest to fail.

Fix this by extending the existing sign-extension logic to handle signed
1-byte and 2-byte kfunc args as well.
