Subject: [PATCH] bpf: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in print_bpf_insn
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 16:41:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824164143.485301ca@fangorn> (raw)
syzkaller triggers UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds and panic_on_warn
panic in print_bpf_insn() when loading a BPF program containing
BPF_LDX | BPF_MEMSX | BPF_DW.
bpf_ldsx_string[] holds three entries for B/H/W (s8/s16/s32).
BPF_DW gives index 3 and reads past the array. check_subprogs()
prints the program via bpf_diag_program_structure() before
do_check() validates the instruction, so the illegal insn reaches
the disassembler.
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/bpf/disasm.c:306:21
index 3 is out of range for type 'char *[3]'

Guard any size index beyond the corresponding string table and emit
BUG_ldx instead of accessing memory beyond the end of the the array.
