Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disable preemption in bpf_perf_event_output
The nesting protection in bpf_perf_event_output relies on disabled
preemption, which is guaranteed for kprobes and tracepoints.
However bpf_perf_event_output can be also called from uprobes context
through bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable function which disables migration,
but keeps preemption enabled.
This can cause task to be preempted by another one inside the nesting
protection and lead eventually to two tasks using same perf_sample_data
buffer and cause crashes like:
kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit attempt? (uid: 0)
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff82be3eea

Fixing this by disabling preemption in bpf_perf_event_output.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's BPF subsystem. The bpf_perf_event_output() function relies on disabled preemption for nesting protection, but when called from uprobes context via bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable(), preemption remains enabled. This allows task preemption during protected sections, leading to buffer corruption when two tasks share the same perf_sample_data buffer, causing kernel crashes.
Отчет
This issue requires BPF programs attached to uprobes that use bpf_perf_event_output(). The flaw can cause kernel crashes when specific preemption timing occurs, but exploiting it for more than denial of service would require precise control over kernel scheduling. Loading BPF programs typically requires CAP_BPF or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capabilities.
