This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Fix issue in verifying allow_ptr_leaks to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bpf-fix-issue-in-verifying-allow_ptr_leaks.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 80ab7ec37d80ac93467aa9fadb8912c2d15155b5 Author: Yafang Shao <laoar.shao@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Aug 23 02:07:02 2023 +0000 bpf: Fix issue in verifying allow_ptr_leaks [ Upstream commit d75e30dddf73449bc2d10bb8e2f1a2c446bc67a2 ] After we converted the capabilities of our networking-bpf program from cap_sys_admin to cap_net_admin+cap_bpf, our networking-bpf program failed to start. Because it failed the bpf verifier, and the error log is "R3 pointer comparison prohibited". A simple reproducer as follows, SEC("cls-ingress") int ingress(struct __sk_buff *skb) { struct iphdr *iph = (void *)(long)skb->data + sizeof(struct ethhdr); if ((long)(iph + 1) > (long)skb->data_end) return TC_ACT_STOLEN; return TC_ACT_OK; } Per discussion with Yonghong and Alexei [1], comparison of two packet pointers is not a pointer leak. This patch fixes it. Our local kernel is 6.1.y and we expect this fix to be backported to 6.1.y, so stable is CCed.
