CVE-2023-52928

5.5 mediumEPSS 0.2%

Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Skip invalid kfunc call in backtrack_insn The verifier skips invalid kfunc call in check_kfunc_call(), which would be captured in fixup_kfunc_call() if such insn is not eliminated by dead code elimination. However, this can lead to the following warning in backtrack_insn(), also see [1]: ------------[ cut here ]------------ verifier backtracking bug WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 at kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 backtrack_insn kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 __mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3065 mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3165 adjust_reg_min_max_vals kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10715 check_alu_op kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10928 do_check kernel/bpf/verifier.c:13821 [inline] do_check_common kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16289 [...] So make backtracking conservative with this by returning ENOTSUPP.
