If this register previously shared a scalar ID\nwith another register (e.g., after an `r1 = r0` assignment), this tie must\nbe broken.\n\nCurrently, the verifier misses resetting `dst_reg->id` to 0 for BPF_END.\nConsequently, if a conditional jump checks the swapped register, the\nverifier incorrectly propagates the learned bounds to the linked register,\nleading to false confidence in the linked register's value and potentially\nallowing out-of-bounds memory accesses.\n\nFix this by explicitly resetting `dst_reg->id` to 0 in the BPF_END case\nto break the scalar tie, similar to how BPF_NEG handles it via\n`__mark_reg_known`.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d15c3611a2cc5d08993545d4032055ae10ae2c1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a17443af874229408ce6b78e2c8a2b5adeb4b7d8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3125bc01884431d30d731461634c8295b6f0529"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:33:55.586217763+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-43070","score":0.00118,"percentile":0.0172,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
