Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix exception exit lock checking for subprogs
process_bpf_exit_full() passes check_lock = !curframe to
check_resource_leak(), which is false in cases when bpf_throw() is
called from a static subprog. This makes check_resource_leak() to skip
validation of active_rcu_locks, active_preempt_locks, and
active_irq_id on exception exits from subprogs.
At runtime bpf_throw() unwinds the stack via ORC without releasing any
user-acquired locks, which may cause various issues as the result.
Fix by setting check_lock = true for exception exits regardless of
curframe, since exceptions bypass all intermediate frame
cleanup. Update the error message prefix to "bpf_throw" for exception
exits to distinguish them from normal BPF_EXIT.
Fix reject_subprog_with_rcu_read_lock test which was previously
passing for the wrong reason. Test program returned directly from the
subprog call without closing the RCU section, so the error was
triggered by the unclosed RCU lock on normal exit, not by
bpf_throw. Update __msg annotations for affected tests to match the
new "bpf_throw" error prefix.
The spin_lock case is not affected because they are already checked [1]
at the call site in do_check_insn() before bpf_throw can run.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) subsystem. When an exception occurs during the execution of a BPF subprogram, the system may fail to release user-acquired locks. This oversight can lead to resource leaks and system instability, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.
Отчет
Verifier now enforces lock leak checks on bpf_throw() exception exits from subprograms, matching real unwind behavior. Red Hat notes impact is confined to verified BPF programs that use exceptions with RCU/preempt/irq state; typical production programs should fail verification until fixed. Ship via kernel errata.
