Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix check for attempt to corrupt spilled pointer 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.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (< 5.10.209) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11.0 < 5.15.148) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16.0 < 6.1.75) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2.0 < 6.6.14) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7.0 < 6.7.2)
