"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf, x86: fix freeing of not-finalized bpf_prog_pack\n\nsyzbot reported a few issues with bpf_prog_pack [1], [2]. This only happens\nwith multiple subprogs. In jit_subprogs(), we first call bpf_int_jit_compile()\non each sub program. And then, we call it on each sub program again. jit_data\nis not freed in the first call of bpf_int_jit_compile(). Similarly we don't\ncall bpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize() in the first call of bpf_int_jit_compile().\n\nIf bpf_int_jit_compile() failed for one sub program, we will call\nbpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize() for this sub program. However, we don't have a\nchance to call it for other sub programs. Then we will hit \"goto out_free\" in\njit_subprogs(), and call bpf_jit_free on some subprograms that haven't got\nbpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize() yet.\n\nAt this point, bpf_jit_binary_pack_free() is called and the whole 2MB page is\nfreed erroneously.\n\nFix this with a custom bpf_jit_free() for x86_64, which calls\nbpf_jit_binary_pack_finalize() if necessary. Also, with custom\nbpf_jit_free(), bpf_prog_aux->use_bpf_prog_pack is not needed any more,\nremove it.\n\n[1] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2f649ec6d2eea1495a8f\n[2] https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=87f65c75f4a72db05445"

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through the local bpf() syscall (BPF_PROG_LOAD → bpf_check → jit_subprogs → bpf_jit_free) while JIT-compiling a multi-subprog eBPF program on x86_64; BPF is a local syscall path, not a network or adjacent-protocol entry.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls program shape and can force the multi-subprog JIT failure path (failed second pass / alloc failure after earlier subprogs succeeded), as syzbot did repeatedly; no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:L - Multi-subprog programs require bpf_capable() (CAP_BPF or CAP_SYS_ADMIN), but CAP_BPF is a delegatable non-root capability routinely granted to containers, agents, and Android services, so only low privileges are needed in the worst reasonable deployment.\nUI:N - The attacker loads the crafted multi-subprog BPF program themselves via bpf(); no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - Impact is host-kernel memory corruption / privilege escalation within the same OS security authority; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-boundary compromise.\nC:H - Freeing a not-finalized bpf_prog_pack slice via the wrong path can release the shared 2MB JIT pack while other programs still use it (explicit UAF of pack contents), enabling reclaim and arbitrary kernel/JIT memory disclosure.\nI:H - The same erroneous pack free / module_memfree of shared RX JIT memory is a use-after-free of executable BPF images and allocator state, sprayable into arbitrary write and control-flow hijack primitives.\nA:H - syzbot observed KASAN vmalloc-OOB in bpf_jit_free escalating to a page-fault oops, and a kernel BUG in __text_poke when later JIT touches corrupted pack memory, so availability impact is High."
