Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] bpf: Fix abs(INT_MIN) undefined behavior in interpreter sdiv/smod
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 18:57:14 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309185716.717894-1-qguanni@gmail.com> (raw)

The BPF interpreter's signed 32-bit division and modulo handlers use
abs() on s32 operands, which is undefined for S32_MIN. This causes
the interpreter to compute wrong results, creating a mismatch with
the verifier's range tracking.

For example, INT_MIN / 2 returns 0x40000000 instead of the correct
0xC0000000. The verifier tracks the correct range, so a crafted BPF
program can exploit the mismatch for out-of-bounds map value access
(confirmed by KASAN).

Patch 1 introduces __safe_abs32() which handles S32_MIN correctly
and replaces all 8 abs((s32)...) call sites.

Patch 2 adds selftests covering sdiv32 and smod32 with INT_MIN
dividend to prevent regression.

Changes since v2:
  - Simplified __safe_abs32() to use -(u32)x instead of special-casing
    S32_MIN, per Mykyta Yatsenko's suggestion. Casting to u32 before
    negating avoids signed overflow entirely.

Changes since v1:
  - Moved __safe_abs32() helper above the kerneldoc comment block
    for ___bpf_prog_run() to fix build warnings reported by
    kernel test robot (W=1 doc warnings)
