What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix crash due to out of bounds access into reg2btf_ids.

When commit e6ac2450d6de ("bpf: Support bpf program calling kernel function") added

kfunc support, it defined reg2btf_ids as a cheap way to translate the verifier

reg type to the appropriate btf_vmlinux BTF ID, however

commit c25b2ae13603 ("bpf: Replace PTR_TO_XXX_OR_NULL with PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL")

moved the __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX from the last member of bpf_reg_type enum to after

the base register types, and defined other variants using type flag

composition. However, now, the direct usage of reg->type to index into

reg2btf_ids may no longer fall into __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX range, and hence lead to

out of bounds access and kernel crash on dereference of bad pointer.
