Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 1/2] bpf: Disable raw mdoe for bloom filter map_peek
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 10:21:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715172127.2416388-2-ameryhung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260715172127.2416388-1-ameryhung@gmail.com>

For a bloom filter, the value argument of bpf_map_peek_elem() is always
an input. Therefore, the verifier should not allow passing uninitialized
stack memory to it to avoid information leak.

bpf_map_peek_elem() tags its value argument ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE |
MEM_UNINIT, telling the verifier the callee fills the buffer. This holds
for queue/stack maps, but not for a bloom filter, which reads the buffer
as an input to test set membership and never writes it.

As a result, a program can pass an uninitialized stack buffer to
bpf_map_peek_elem() on a bloom filter. The verifier accepts it and marks
the buffer initialized on return, letting the program read back leftover
kernel stack memory. Bloom maps require CAP_BPF to create, so this is a
CAP_BPF-gated stack infoleak that bypasses the boundary CAP_BPF is meant
to enforce (arbitrary kernel reads are gated behind CAP_PERFMON).
