Subject: [PATCH v1] bpf: Set register type according to is_valid_access()
Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 20:35:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160922183512.13576-1-mic@digikod.net> (raw)

This fix a pointer leak when an unprivileged eBPF program read a pointer
value from the context. Even if is_valid_access() returns a pointer
type, the eBPF verifier replace it with UNKNOWN_VALUE. The register
value containing an address is then allowed to leak. Moreover, this
prevented unprivileged eBPF programs to use functions with (legitimate)
pointer arguments.

This bug is not an issue for now because the only unprivileged eBPF
program allowed is of type BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER and all the types
from its context are UNKNOWN_VALUE. However, this fix is important for
future unprivileged eBPF program types which could use pointers in their
context.
