This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: fix check for attempt to corrupt spilled pointer to the 5.15-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-check-for-attempt-to-corrupt-spilled-pointer.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 21766b76da85d5866779ada9b33661b230475e30 Author: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Dec 5 10:42:41 2023 -0800 bpf: fix check for attempt to corrupt spilled pointer [ Upstream commit ab125ed3ec1c10ccc36bc98c7a4256ad114a3dae ] When register is spilled onto a stack as a 1/2/4-byte register, we set slot_type[BPF_REG_SIZE - 1] (plus potentially few more below it, depending on actual spill size). So to check if some stack slot has spilled register we need to consult slot_type[7], not slot_type[0]. To avoid the need to remember and double-check this in the future, just use is_spilled_reg() helper.
