Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 1/2] bpf: Reject oversized stream read buffers
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 21:32:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823193202.2389715-2-memxor@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260823193202.2389715-1-memxor@gmail.com>
BPF_PROG_STREAM_READ_BY_FD exposes stream_buf_len as a u32, but the
internal stream reader accepts an int. Values above INT_MAX therefore
become negative before bpf_stream_read(), producing negative consumption
lengths. The generic usercopy size check prevents the oversized copy, but
emits a warning and reports EFAULT for an unchecked argument.
Change bpf_prog_stream_read() to accept u32 and reject values that the
signed reader cannot represent.
Fixes: 5ab154f1463a ("bpf: Introduce BPF standard streams")
