  "title": "bpf: backtracking shouldn\u0027t clear outer frame R1-R5 for callbacks",
  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  bpf: backtracking shouldn\u0027t clear outer frame R1-R5 for callbacks  When processing calls to bpf_loop() verifier marks R1 (and R4) as precise. R1 tracks loop iterations number and because of the \u0027callback_depth \u003C R1\u0027 mechanics in check_helper_call() must be marked precise. However, precision propagation for R1 was broken, when bpf_loop() call was verified on a second iteration.  Consider the following verification trace: - main: bpf_loop(nr_loops, callback ...) - callback: BPF_EXIT - main: bpf_loop(nr_loops, callback ...) - ...  While the first visit of the call to bpf_loop() propagated R1 precision as expected, the second call to mark_chain_precision() in the check_helper_call() set R1, but it was immediately reset when backtrack_insn() processed preceding BPF_EXIT in the loop deleted in this patch.  Because of that, the second visit of the call to bpf_loop() injected checkpoint with R1 not marked as precise. Which could trick the verifier into accepting unsafe programs. See the next patch for an example of such program.  Commit is structured in a way to minimize conflicts when \u0027bpf\u0027 would be eventually merged with \u0027bpf-next\u0027.",
