What it is

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

bpf: add missing check_func_arg_reg_off() to prevent out-of-bounds memory accesses

Currently, it's possible to pass in a modified CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to

a global function as an argument. The adverse effects of this is that

BPF helpers can continue to make use of this modified

CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR from within the context of the global function,

which can unintentionally result in out-of-bounds memory accesses and

therefore compromise overall system stability i.e.

Add a check_func_arg_reg_off() to the path in which the BPF verifier

verifies the arguments of global function arguments, specifically

those which take an argument of type ARG_PTR_TO_DYNPTR |

MEM_RDONLY. Also, process_dynptr_func() doesn't appear to perform any

explicit and strict type matching on the supplied register type, so

let's also enforce that a register either type PTR_TO_STACK or

CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR is by the caller.
