Title

bpf: Drop scalar id on sign-extending narrowing stack fills

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Drop scalar id on sign-extending narrowing stack fills When a spilled scalar is filled back with a sign-extending narrowing load (BPF_MEMSX), check_stack_read_fixed_off() copies the spilled register including its scalar id, but coerce_reg_to_size_sx() then sign-extends the filled register's value. If the same slot is also filled with a plain zero-extending load (BPF_MEM), both destination registers share the id yet hold different values. A later 'if <zext-reg> == const' then refines the sign-extended register through sync_linked_regs() to a value it does not have at runtime (e.g. the verifier believes 0x80000000 while the register is 0xffffffff80000000), which can be turned into an out-of-bounds access. Drop the shared scalar id at the sign-extension site in check_mem_access() when sign extension actually changes the value, mirroring the BPF_MOVSX handling in check_alu_op() (no_sext = reg_umax < 2^(size*8-1)).

GHSA-6CRF-588F-8R2F

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-17 18:32 – Updated: 2026-09-17 18:32

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Drop scalar id on sign-extending narrowing stack fills

When a spilled scalar is filled back with a sign-extending narrowing load (BPF_MEMSX), check_stack_read_fixed_off() copies the spilled register including its scalar id, but coerce_reg_to_size_sx() then sign-extends the filled register's value. If the same slot is also filled with a plain zero-extending load (BPF_MEM), both destination registers share the id yet hold different values. A later 'if == const' then refines the sign-extended register through sync_linked_regs() to a value it does not have at runtime (e.g. the verifier believes 0x80000000 while the register is 0xffffffff80000000), which can be turned into an out-of-bounds access.

Drop the shared scalar id at the sign-extension site in check_mem_access() when sign extension actually changes the value, mirroring the BPF_MOVSX handling in check_alu_op() (no_sext = reg_umax < 2^(size*8-1)).

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
