In user space each time a record is\nread, the consumer of the data advanced the consumer counter once it finished\nprocessing. Both counters are stored in separate pages so that from user\nspace, the producer counter is read-only and the consumer counter is read-write.\n\nOne aspect that simplifies and thus speeds up the implementation of both\nproducers and consumers is how the data area is mapped twice contiguously\nback-to-back in the virtual memory, allowing to not take any special measures\nfor samples that have to wrap around at the end of the circular buffer data\narea, because the next page after the last data page would be first data page\nagain, and thus the sample will still appear completely contiguous in virtual\nmemory.\n\nEach record has a struct bpf_ringbuf_hdr { u32 len; u32 pg_off; } header for\nbook-keeping the length and offset, and is inaccessible to the BPF program.\nHelpers like bpf_ringbuf_reserve() return `(void *)hdr + BPF_RINGBUF_HDR_SZ`\nfor the BPF program to use. Bing-Jhong and Muhammad reported that it is however\npossible to make a second allocated memory chunk overlapping with the first\nchunk and as a result, the BPF program is now able to edit first chunk's\nheader.\n\nFor example, consider the creation of a BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF map with size\nof 0x4000. Next, the consumer_pos is modified to 0x3000 /before/ a call to\nbpf_ringbuf_reserve() is made. This will allocate a chunk A, which is in\n[0x0,0x3008], and the BPF program is able to edit [0x8,0x3008]. Now, lets\nallocate a chunk B with size 0x3000. This will succeed because consumer_pos\nwas edited ahead of time to pass the `new_prod_pos - cons_pos > rb->mask`\ncheck. Chunk B will be in range [0x3008,0x6010], and the BPF program is able\nto edit [0x3010,0x6010]. Due to the ring buffer memory layout mentioned\nearlier, the ranges [0x0,0x4000] and [0x4000,0x8000] point to the same data\npages. This means that chunk B at [0x4000,0x4008] is chunk A's header.\nbpf_ringbuf_submit() / bpf_ringbuf_discard() use the header's pg_off to then\nlocate the bpf_ringbuf itself via bpf_ringbuf_restore_from_rec(). Once chunk\nB modified chunk A's header, then bpf_ringbuf_commit() refers to the wrong\npage and could cause a crash.\n\nFix it by calculating the oldest pending_pos and check whether the range\nfrom the oldest outstanding record to the newest would span beyond the ring\nbuffer size. If that is the case, then reject the request. We've tested with\nthe ring buffer benchmark in BPF selftests (./benchs/run_bench_ringbufs.sh)\nbefore/after the fix and while it seems a bit slower on some benchmarks, it\nis still not significantly enough to matter."}], "metrics": [{"cvssV3_1": {"version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH"}, "scenarios": [{"lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is reached through the bpf() syscall by loading and running a BPF program that calls bpf_ringbuf_reserve/submit, which is a local operation with no network or physical component.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically controls both sides \u2014 the BPF producer and the writable consumer_pos mmap page \u2014 so the overlapping reservation is triggered reliably with no uncontrolled race or memory-layout precondition.\nPR:L - In the most severe reasonable configuration (unprivileged_bpf_disabled=0) any unprivileged local user can create a RINGBUF map and run a socket-filter program to reach this; the ringbuf helpers and map type are in the unprivileged class, and CAP_BPF is a delegatable sub-root capability.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence (mmap, edit consumer_pos, reserve, submit) alone with no victim action required.\nS:U - The corruption stays within the kernel's own security authority; there is no cross-boundary escape such as VM or IOMMU.\nC:H - The overlapping-reservation primitive lets the program corrupt an adjacent record header so bpf_ringbuf_commit() dereferences an attacker-controlled rb pointer, enabling disclosure of kernel memory contents.\nI:H - Overlapping chunks give a controlled out-of-bounds write into another record's header, and the resulting attacker-controlled rb pointer feeding irq_work_queue() yields a write/control-flow primitive exploitable for corruption.\nA:H - The commit notes the corrupted header makes bpf_ringbuf_commit() reference the wrong page and can crash the kernel, a full denial of service."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",

Cada vez que se reserva un registro, el productor \"due\u00f1o\" del registro avanzar\u00e1 exitosamente el contador de productores. En el espacio de usuario, cada vez que se lee un registro, el consumidor de los datos avanza el contador del consumidor una vez que finaliza el procesamiento. Ambos contadores se almacenan en p\u00e1ginas separadas de modo que, desde el espacio del usuario, el contador del productor sea de solo lectura y el contador del consumidor sea de lectura y escritura. Un aspecto que simplifica y, por lo tanto, acelera la implementaci\u00f3n tanto de productores como de consumidores es c\u00f3mo el \u00e1rea de datos se mapea dos veces de forma contigua y consecutiva en la memoria virtual, lo que permite no tomar medidas especiales para las muestras que tienen que envolverse en el mismo lugar. al final del \u00e1rea de datos del b\u00fafer circular, porque la p\u00e1gina siguiente despu\u00e9s de la \u00faltima p\u00e1gina de datos volver\u00eda a ser la primera p\u00e1gina de datos y, por lo tanto, la muestra seguir\u00e1 apareciendo completamente contigua en la memoria virtual.

Bing-Jhong y Muhammad informaron que, sin embargo, es posible hacer que un segundo fragmento de memoria asignado se superponga con el primer fragmento y, como resultado, el programa BPF ahora puede editar el encabezado del primer fragmento. Por ejemplo, considere la creaci\u00f3n de un mapa BPF_MAP_TYPE_RINGBUF con un tama\u00f1o de 0x4000. A continuaci\u00f3n, consumer_pos se modifica a 0x3000 /antes/ se realiza una llamada a bpf_ringbuf_reserve().

Esto significa que el fragmento B en [0x4000,0x4008] es el encabezado del fragmento A. bpf_ringbuf_submit() / bpf_ringbuf_discard() usa el pg_off del encabezado para luego ubicar el bpf_ringbuf a trav\u00e9s de bpf_ringbuf_restore_from_rec().

Red Hat enforces the principle of least functionality, ensuring that only essential features, services, and ports are enabled. This minimizes the number of components that could be affected by stack-based buffer overflow exploitations. The environment leverages malicious code protections such as IPS/IDS and antimalware solutions that detect and respond to indicators in real time, preventing or limiting the impact of exploitation attempts. Static code analysis and peer code review techniques are used to ensure all user inputs are thoroughly validated, preventing improperly validated inputs from causing system instability, exposing sensitive data, or escalating risks. Finally, memory protection mechanisms such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) are used to enhance resilience against memory buffer overflows and denial-of-service attacks.", "threat_severity": "Moderate"}
