In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix a sdiv overflow issue Zac Ecob reported a problem where a bpf program may cause kernel crash due to the following error: Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI The failure is due to the below signed divide: LLONG_MIN/-1 where LLONG_MIN equals to -9,223,372,036,854,775,808. LLONG_MIN/-1 is supposed to give a positive number 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, but it is impossible since for 64-bit system, the maximum positive number is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. On x86_64, LLONG_MIN/-1 will cause a kernel exception. On arm64, the result for LLONG_MIN/-1 is LLONG_MIN. Further investigation found all the following sdiv/smod cases may trigger an exception when bpf program is running on x86_64 platform:
- LLONG_MIN/-1 for 64bit operation
- INT_MIN/-1 for 32bit operation
- LLONG_MIN%-1 for 64bit operation
- INT_MIN%-1 for 32bit operation where -1 can be an immediate or in a register. On arm64, there are no exceptions:
- LLONG_MIN/-1 = LLONG_MIN
- INT_MIN/-1 = INT_MIN
- LLONG_MIN%-1 = 0
- INT_MIN%-1 = 0
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.
Insn patching is needed to handle the above cases and the patched codes
produced results aligned with above arm64 result. The below are pseudo
codes to handle sdiv/smod exceptions including both divisor -1 and divisor 0
and the divisor is stored in a register.
sdiv:
tmp = rX
tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1]
if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L2
if tmp == 0 goto L1
rY = 0
L1:
rY = -rY;
goto L3
L2:
rY /= rX
L3:
smod:
tmp = rX
tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1]
if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L1
if tmp == 1 (is64 ? goto L2 : goto L3)
rY = 0;
goto L2
L1:
rY %= rX
L2:
goto L4 // only when !is64
L3:
wY = wY // only when !is64

A flaw was found in the kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) subsystem. A privileged local user can trigger a signed division or modulo overflow when executing a BPF program on an x86_64 system. This overflow can lead to a kernel exception and subsequently cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Отчет
The default Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel prevents unprivileged users from being able to use eBPF by the kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl. This would require a privileged user with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root to be able to abuse this flaw reducing its attack space. For the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 to confirm the current state, inspect the sysctl with the command: cat /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled The setting of 1 would mean that unprivileged users can not use eBPF, mitigating the flaw.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, ensure that unprivileged users are prevented from loading eBPF programs by setting the kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl to 1. This is the default configuration on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
To verify the current setting:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled
If the value is 0, set it to 1 immediately using:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1
To make this change persistent across reboots, add or modify the following line in /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf (or a similar sysctl configuration file):
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 1
Then, apply the changes:
sudo sysctl --system
Note that changes to sysctl parameters take effect immediately but may require a system reboot for full application in some scenarios, especially if the vulnerable kernel module was already loaded with the previous setting.
