This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: reject out-of-bounds stack pointer calculation to the 4.9-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-reject-out-of-bounds-stack-pointer-calculation.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Fri Dec 22 16:57:35 CET 2017 From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 16:29:04 +0100 Subject: bpf: reject out-of-bounds stack pointer calculation To: gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: ast@xxxxxxxxxx, daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, jannh@xxxxxxxxxx, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <20171222152905.3455-4-daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: Jann Horn <jannh@xxxxxxxxxx> Reject programs that compute wildly out-of-bounds stack pointers. Otherwise, pointers can be computed with an offset that doesn't fit into an `int`, causing security issues in the stack memory access check (as well as signed integer overflow during offset addition). This is a fix specifically for the v4.9 stable tree because the mainline code looks very different at this point.
