Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-10 15:33 – Updated: 2026-08-14 00:31

Details

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

LoongArch: BPF: Zero-extend signed ALU32 div/mod results

ALU32 operations write a 32-bit result and leave the upper 32 bits of the BPF register zero. The LoongArch JIT sign-extends the result of signed ALU32 BPF_DIV and BPF_MOD (off=1), so a negative 32-bit quotient or remainder leaves bits 63:32 set in JITted code while the verifier and interpreter model those bits as zero.

Keep sign-extension on the operands, which signed divide needs, and zero-extend the ALU32 result after the divide or modulo instruction, matching the unsigned ALU32 div/mod paths and every other ALU32 operation in this JIT.

Severity

7.8 (High)

No network-facing path emits JITted signed ALU32 div/mod on behalf of a remote peer.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the BPF instruction sequence and the divisor/dividend, so producing a negative signed ALU32 quotient or remainder is deterministic and repeatable with no race, timing, or memory-layout dependency.\nPR:L - Loading an eBPF program requires only an unprivileged local user where unprivileged BPF is permitted, or CAP_BPF/CAP_SYS_ADMIN which is reachable via user namespaces on many deployments; no real root in the init namespace is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker loads and runs its own BPF program; no action by any other user or administrator is required at any point.\nS:U - The verifier bypass and resulting memory corruption stay within the kernel\u0027s own security authority on the same host, giving kernel-level privilege escalation rather than crossing a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - The verifier models bits 63:32 of the ALU32 result as zero while the JIT leaves them set, so a later ALU64 shift lets the verifier conclude a register is constant zero when it is really 0xFFFFFFFF; using it as a pointer offset yields an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds read of arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - The same verifier/JIT range mismatch produces an out-of-bounds pointer that passes verification for stores as well as loads, giving an arbitrary kernel write primitive usable for control-flow hijacking and full privilege escalation.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds accesses through the mis-tracked register readily fault on unmapped or protected kernel addresses, causing an oops or panic, and the corruption can be repeated at will to bring the system down."
