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

bpf: Fail verification for sign-extension of packet data/data_end/data_meta

syzbot reported a kernel crash due to commit 1f1e864b6555 ("bpf: Handle sign-extenstin ctx member accesses"). The reason is due to sign-extension of 32-bit load for packet data/data_end/data_meta uapi field.

The original code looks like: r2 = (s32 )(r1 + 76) / load __sk_buff->data / r3 = (u32 )(r1 + 80) / load __sk_buff->data_end / r0 = r2 r0 += 8 if r3 > r0 goto +1 ... Note that __sk_buff->data load has 32-bit sign extension.

After verification and convert_ctx_accesses(), the final asm code looks like: r2 = (u64 )(r1 +208) r2 = (s32)r2 r3 = (u64 )(r1 +80) r0 = r2 r0 += 8 if r3 > r0 goto pc+1 ... Note that 'r2 = (s32)r2' may make the kernel __sk_buff->data address invalid which may cause runtime failure.

Currently, in C code, typically we have void data = (void )(long)skb->data; void data_end = (void )(long)skb->data_end; ... and it will generate r2 = (u64 )(r1 +208) r3 = (u64 )(r1 +80) r0 = r2 r0 += 8 if r3 > r0 goto pc+1

If we allow sign-extension, void data = (void )(long)(int)skb->data; void data_end = (void )(long)skb->data_end; ... the generated code looks like r2 = (u64 )(r1 +208) r2 <<= 32 r2 s>>= 32 r3 = (u64 )(r1 +80) r0 = r2 r0 += 8 if r3 > r0 goto pc+1 and this will cause verification failure since "r2 <<= 32" is not allowed as "r2" is a packet pointer.

To fix this issue for case r2 = (s32 )(r1 + 76) / load __sk_buff->data / this patch added additional checking in is_valid_access() callback function for packet data/data_end/data_meta access. If those accesses are with sign-extenstion, the verification will fail.
