CVE-2026-93125 PUBLISHED

bpf: Reject rdonly/rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments that exceed u32 max

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 17.09.2026 Published: 17.09.2026 Updated: 17.09.2026

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

bpf: Reject rdonly/rdwr_buf_size kfunc arguments that exceed u32 max

check_kfunc_args() detects a kfunc argument named rdonly_buf_size or rdwr_buf_size and stores reg->var_off.value into meta->r0_size, a u64, and does not bound it. check_kfunc_call() later copies that value into the returned register's mem_size field:

meta->r0_size = reg->var_off.value; ... regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size = meta.r0_size;

regs[BPF_REG_0].mem_size is u32. A constant whose upper 32 bits are set gets truncated instead of causing a load-time rejection, so the verifier records a PTR_TO_MEM register with an approximately 4 GiB mem_size for whatever allocation the kfunc returned. A later access check against that register uses the truncated, wrong bound.

Reject rdonly_buf_size/rdwr_buf_size values that exceed U32_MAX at the point meta->r0_size is set.
