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

bpf: Don't use tnum_range on array range checking for poke descriptors

Hsin-Wei reported a KASAN splat triggered by their BPF runtime fuzzer which

is based on a customized syzkaller:

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in bpf_int_jit_compile+0x1257/0x13f0

RIP: 0033:0x7f917c4e2c2d

The problem here is that a range of tnum_range(0, map->max_entries - 1) has

limited ability to represent the concrete tight range with the tnum as the

set of resulting states from value + mask can result in a superset of the

actual intended range, and as such a tnum_in(range, reg->var_off) check may

yield true when it shouldn't, for example tnum_range(0, 2) would result in

00XX -> v = 0000, m = 0011 such that the intended set of {0, 1, 2} is here

represented by a less precise superset of {0, 1, 2, 3}. As the register is

known const scalar, really just use the concrete reg->var_off.value for the

upper index check.
