Subject: [PATCH v2] bpf: reject NULL data/sig in bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 04:40:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520024059.313468-1-kpsingh@kernel.org> (raw)

__bpf_dynptr_data() can return NULL (FILE dynptrs, any non-contiguous
backing). bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() forwards the pointer to
verify_pkcs7_signature() unchecked, causing a NULL deref in
asn1_ber_decoder() reachable from a sleepable BPF LSM at lsm.s/bpf.

NULL-check both pointers and reject with -EINVAL. Mirrors the guards
already in kernel/bpf/crypto.c.

Fixes: 865b0566d8f1 ("bpf: Add bpf_verify_pkcs7_signature() kfunc")
