Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v2 2/3] bpf: Check tail zero of bpf_prog_info
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 23:05:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604150505.99129-3-leon.hwang@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604150505.99129-1-leon.hwang@linux.dev>
Since there're 4 bytes padding at the end of struct bpf_prog_info, they
won't be checked by bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero().
pahole -C bpf_prog_info ./vmlinux
struct bpf_prog_info {
...
__u32 attach_btf_obj_id; /* 220 4 */
__u32 attach_btf_id; /* 224 4 */
/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 38 */
/* sum members: 224 */
/* sum bitfield members: 1 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 31 bits */
/* padding: 4 */
/* forced alignments: 9 */
/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
} __attribute__((__aligned__(8)));
If a future kernel extension adds a new 4-byte field, older userspace
programs allocating this structure on the stack might inadvertently pass
uninitialized stack garbage into the new field, permanently breaking
backward compatibility. -- sashiko [1]
Fix it by changing sizeof(info) to
offsetofend(struct bpf_prog_info, attach_btf_id).
