Title
bpf: Check bloom filter map value size
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check bloom filter map value size
This patch adds a missing check to bloom filter creating, rejecting
values above KMALLOC_MAX_SIZE. This brings the bloom map in line with
many other map types.
The lack of this protection can cause kernel crashes for value sizes
that overflow int's. Such a crash was caught by syzkaller. The next
patch adds more guard-rails at a lower level.

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached purely through the `bpf()` syscall \u2014 `BPF_MAP_CREATE` for a bloom-filter map with an oversized `value_size`, then `BPF_PROG_LOAD` of a program calling `bpf_map_push_elem()` on it. No network or remote-peer input is involved.\nAC:L - Triggering is fully deterministic and attacker-controlled: pick any `value_size \u003e= 0x80000000` and any negative stack offset, and the signed overflow in `max_off + access_size` fires every time. There is no race, no timing window, and no memory-layout precondition needed to reach the out-of-bounds loop.\nPR:L - `bpf_map_push_elem` is in the unprivileged section of `bpf_base_func_proto()`, and bloom-filter map creation has no per-map-type capability gate at all on 5.16\u20136.3 (only `sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled`), while on 6.9 a delegated bpffs BPF token grants `ns_capable(userns, CAP_BPF)` to an unprivileged containerized process. CAP_BPF is a deliberately reduced, non-root privilege routinely held by ordinary service accounts, so a basic low-privileged local context suffices.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence \u2014 map creation plus program load \u2014 from their own process. No other user or administrator has to do anything.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in kernel heap memory belonging to the BPF verifier, within the same security authority as the exploiting process. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or other trust boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The loop performs unbounded negative-index reads of `state-\u003estack[spi].slot_type[]` and `spilled_ptr`, and `mark_reg_read()` chases an out-of-bounds `parent` pointer, giving an out-of-bounds kernel-heap read primitive that a heap-groomed attacker can leverage for arbitrary memory disclosure.\nI:H - With `clobber = true` the loop writes `*stype = STACK_MISC` out of bounds, `__mark_reg_unknown()`/`scrub_spilled_slot()` write a full `bpf_reg_state` and 8-byte slots out of bounds, and `mark_reg_read()` ORs `REG_LIVE_READ64` into an attacker-influenced wild pointer \u2014 an out-of-bounds write usable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The overflowed loop iterates roughly two billion times descending ~120 bytes per 8 iterations, so it walks tens of gigabytes below the `stack` allocation and reliably faults on unmapped memory, producing a kernel oops/panic that any local user with map-create access can trigger at will."

This brings the bloom map in line with\nmany other map types.\n\nThe lack of this protection can cause kernel crashes for value sizes\nthat overflow int\u0027s. Such a crash was caught by syzkaller. The next\npatch adds more guard-rails at a lower level."

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached purely through the `bpf()` syscall \u2014 `BPF_MAP_CREATE` for a bloom-filter map with an oversized `value_size`, then `BPF_PROG_LOAD` of a program calling `bpf_map_push_elem()` on it. No network or remote-peer input is involved.\nAC:L - Triggering is fully deterministic and attacker-controlled: pick any `value_size \u003e= 0x80000000` and any negative stack offset, and the signed overflow in `max_off + access_size` fires every time. There is no race, no timing window, and no memory-layout precondition needed to reach the out-of-bounds loop.\nPR:L - `bpf_map_push_elem` is in the unprivileged section of `bpf_base_func_proto()`, and bloom-filter map creation has no per-map-type capability gate at all on 5.16\u20136.3 (only `sysctl_unprivileged_bpf_disabled`), while on 6.9 a delegated bpffs BPF token grants `ns_capable(userns, CAP_BPF)` to an unprivileged containerized process. CAP_BPF is a deliberately reduced, non-root privilege routinely held by ordinary service accounts, so a basic low-privileged local context suffices.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence \u2014 map creation plus program load \u2014 from their own process. No other user or administrator has to do anything.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in kernel heap memory belonging to the BPF verifier, within the same security authority as the exploiting process. No hypervisor, IOMMU, or other trust boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The loop performs unbounded negative-index reads of `state-\u003estack[spi].slot_type[]` and `spilled_ptr`, and `mark_reg_read()` chases an out-of-bounds `parent` pointer, giving an out-of-bounds kernel-heap read primitive that a heap-groomed attacker can leverage for arbitrary memory disclosure.\nI:H - With `clobber = true` the loop writes `*stype = STACK_MISC` out of bounds, `__mark_reg_unknown()`/`scrub_spilled_slot()` write a full `bpf_reg_state` and 8-byte slots out of bounds, and `mark_reg_read()` ORs `REG_LIVE_READ64` into an attacker-influenced wild pointer \u2014 an out-of-bounds write usable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The overflowed loop iterates roughly two billion times descending ~120 bytes per 8 iterations, so it walks tens of gigabytes below the `stack` allocation and reliably faults on unmapped memory, producing a kernel oops/panic that any local user with map-create access can trigger at will."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
