From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> commit dd066823db2ac4e22f721ec85190817b58059a54 upstream. Subtraction of pointers was accidentally allowed for unpriv programs by commit 82abbf8d2fc4. Revert that part of commit. Fixes: 82abbf8d2fc4 ("bpf: do not allow root to mangle valid pointers") Reported-by: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [fllinden@xxxxxxxxxx: backport to 4.14] Signed-off-by: Frank van der Linden <fllinden@xxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/bpf/verifier.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/bpf/verifier.c b/kernel/bpf/verifier.c index b999e268ee23..5c440398e0a1 100644 --- a/kernel/bpf/verifier.c +++ b/kernel/bpf/verifier.c @@ -2754,7 +2754,7 @@ static int adjust_reg_min_max_vals(struct bpf_verifier_env *env, * an arbitrary scalar.
