Ubuntu本地提权漏洞(CVE-2017-16995)

Since commit f1174f77b50c "bpf/verifier: rework value tracking", the eBPF range tracking is security-relevant for the verification of eBPF code provided by unprivileged users. Therefore, any tiny slip-up in the arithmetic range tracking now turns into an arbitrary read+write in the full kernel...

Linux Kernel >= 4.9 eBPF memory corruption bugs Vulnerability

Exploit for linux platform in category dos / poc Hi! A few BPF verifier bugs in the Linux kernel, most of which can be used for controlled memory corruption, have been fixed over the last days. One of the bugs was introduced in 4.9, the others were only introduced in 4.14. The fixes are in the ne...

Linux: eBPF verifier log leaks lower half of map pointer

When the eBPF verifier kernel/bpf/verifier.c runs in verbose mode, it dumps all processed instructions to a user-accessible buffer in human-readable form using printbpfinsn. For instructions with class BPFLD and mode BPFIMM, it prints the raw 32-bit value: else if class == BPFLD if BPFMODEinsn-co...
