Hi, Currently, the verifier collects incorrect ranges on the fall-through of JNE and the branch-taken of JE when ranges of their operands are non-overlap. The following program can trigger a shift out of bounds on the fall-through of the JNE path. C Program: https://pastebin.com/raw/CKvS707A Shift-out-of-bound: https://pastebin.com/raw/AkJWxVue Verifier Log: https://pastebin.com/raw/fdjG3u61 In the C program, r7 and r1 have different ranges and are compared: 12: (bf) r4 = r0 ; R0_w=scalar(id=2,smin=smin32=-4,smax=smax32=-1,umin=18446744073709551612,umin32=4294967292,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffffc; 0x3)) R4_w=scalar(id=2,smin=smin32=-4,smax=smax32=-1,umin=18446744073709551612,umin32=4294967292,var_off=(0xfffffffffffffffc; 0x3)) 13: (bf) r6 = r7 ; R6=scalar(id=3,smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=24,var_off=(0x0; 0x18)) R7=scalar(id=3,smin=smin32=0,smax=umax=smax32=umax32=24,var_off=(0x0; 0x18)) 14: (5d) if r7 != r0 goto pc+2 ; R0=-4 R7=-4 The issue is that is_branch_taken() requires one of the regs to be known/const, and it returns -1 even when the ranges are non-overlap. Later, reg_combine_min_max() is called, which assumes two regs could equal. So, when two ranges are non-overlap, the range of the corresponding eq path of JE and JNE is incorrect: if (dst_reg->type == SCALAR_VALUE && src_reg->type == SCALAR_VALUE && !is_jmp32 && (opcode == BPF_JEQ || opcode == BPF_JNE)) { /* Comparing for equality, we can combine knowledge */ reg_combine_min_max(&other_branch_regs[insn->src_reg], &other_branch_regs[insn->dst_reg], src_reg, dst_reg, opcode); } Andrii's patch sets fixed similar issues (https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CAEf4Bzbgf-WQSCz8D4Omh3zFdS4oWS6XELnE7VeoUWgKf3cpig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/) where ranges are non-overlap, but one of the subreg is known. Report this one since this case seems different from the previous one, and still triggers issues on the latest bpf-next. Also, the range tracking of non-overlap const/range for JSLT is not correct either, see my previous report: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/CACkBjsbvk7rNfV0uS8uvrw497ybB1uLvUFvZWPx_SBzSRn2Raw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
