kernel: bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list

A data race was found in the BPF LRU list implementation. Concurrent access to node-ref without proper memory barriers triggers KCSAN warnings, though the race is benign as the reference value does not need to be precise...

kernel: samples/bpf: Fix buffer overflow in tcp_basertt

A buffer overflow was found in the BPF sample code tcpbasertt. Incorrect buffer size calculation could cause out-of-bounds writes when copying string data...

kernel: lwt: Fix return values of BPF xmit ops

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: lwt: Fix return values of BPF xmit ops BPF encap ops can return different types of positive values, such like NETRXDROP, NETXMITCN, NETDEVTXBUSY, and so on, from function skbdoredirect and bpflwtxmitreroute. At the xmit hook, suc...

kernel: Linux kernel: Denial of Service due to file descriptor leak in BPF sample code

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This vulnerability, a file descriptor leak, occurs in the samples/bpf component when the fout file pointer is opened but not properly closed in the hbm's runbpfprog function. A local attacker could exploit this by repeatedly triggering the flaw, leading to...

kernel: Linux kernel: BPF verifier log truncation via crafted user input

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter BPF verifier log. A local user can exploit this by providing excessively long BPF Type Format BTF names or BTF.ext source code line strings. This can lead to the truncation of a single verifier log line, potentially obscuring important...
