CVE-2022-49548

bpf: Fix potential array overflow in bpf_trampoline_get_progs()

Published Feb 26, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix potential array overflow in bpf_trampoline_get_progs()

The cnt value in the 'cnt >= BPF_MAX_TRAMP_PROGS' check does not
include BPF_TRAMP_MODIFY_RETURN bpf programs, so the number of
the attached BPF_TRAMP_MODIFY_RETURN bpf programs in a trampoline
can exceed BPF_MAX_TRAMP_PROGS.

When this happens, the assignment '*progs++ = aux->prog' in
bpf_trampoline_get_progs() will cause progs array overflow as the
progs field in the bpf_tramp_progs struct can only hold at most
BPF_MAX_TRAMP_PROGS bpf programs.
