Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, arm64: Fixed a BTI error on returning to patched function

When BPF_TRAMP_F_CALL_ORIG is set, BPF trampoline uses BLR to jump back to the instruction next to call site to call the patched function. For BTI-enabled kernel, the instruction next to call site is usually PACIASP, in this case, it's safe to jump back with BLR. But when the call site is not followed by a PACIASP or bti, a BTI exception is triggered.

Here is a fault log:
