[PATCH bpf-next v3 4/9] bpf: Refactor object relationship tracking and fix dynptr UAF bug

Amery Hung
2026-04-21T22:10:23Z

Refactor object relationship tracking in the verifier and fix a dynptr
use-after-free bug where file/skb dynptrs are not invalidated when the
parent referenced object is freed.

Add parent_id to bpf_reg_state to precisely track child-parent
relationships. A child object's parent_id points to the parent object's
id. This replaces the PTR_TO_MEM-specific dynptr_id and does not
increase the size of bpf_reg_state on 64-bit machines as there is
existing padding.

When calling dynptr constructors (i.e., process_dynptr_func() with
MEM_UNINIT argument), track the parent's id if the parent is a
referenced object. This only applies to file dynptr and skb dynptr,
so only pass parent reg->id to kfunc constructors.

For release_reference(), invalidating an object now also invalidates
all descendants by traversing the object tree. This is done using
stack-based DFS to avoid recursive call chains of release_reference() ->
unmark_stack_slots_dynptr() -> release_reference(). Referenced objects
encountered during tree traversal cannot be indirectly released. They
require an explicit helper/kfunc call to release the acquired resources.

While the new design changes how object relationships are tracked in
the verifier, it does not change the verifier's behavior. Here is the
implication for dynptr, pointer casting, and owning/non-owning
references:

Dynptr:

When initializing a dynptr, referenced dynptrs acquire a reference for
ref_obj_id. If the dynptr has a referenced parent, parent_id tracks the
parent's id. When cloning, ref_obj_id and parent_id are copied from the
original. Releasing a referenced dynptr via release_reference(ref_obj_id)
invalidates all clones and derived slices. For non-referenced dynptrs,
only the specific dynptr and its children are invalidated.

Pointer casting:

Referenced socket pointers and their casted counterparts share the same
lifetime but have different nullness — they have different id but the
same ref_obj_id.

Owning to non-owning reference conversion:

After converting owning to non-owning by clearing ref_obj_id (e.g.,
object(id=1, ref_obj_id=1) -> object(id=1, ref_obj_id=0)), the
verifier only needs to release the reference state, so it calls
release_reference_nomark() instead of release_reference().

Note that the error message "reference has not been acquired before" in
the helper and kfunc release paths is removed. This message was already
unreachable. The verifier only calls release_reference() after
confirming meta.ref_obj_id is valid, so the condition could never
trigger in practice (no selftest exercises it either). With the
refactor, release_reference() can now be called with non-acquired ids
and have different error conditions. Report directly in
release_reference() instead.
