En una pr\u00f3xima autoprueba, el objetivo de conexi\u00f3n para entry_freplace de tailcall_freplace.c es subprog_tc de tc_bpf2bpf.c, mientras que la llamada de cola en entry_freplace conduce a entry_tc. Esto da como resultado un bucle infinito: entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc. El problema surge porque tail_call_cnt en entry_freplace se restablece a cero cada vez que se ejecuta entry_freplace, lo que hace que el mecanismo de llamada de cola nunca finalice, lo que finalmente conduce a un p\u00e1nico del kernel. Para solucionar este problema, la soluci\u00f3n es doble: 1. Evitar actualizar un programa extendido por un programa freplace a un mapa prog_array. 2. Evite extender un programa que ya es parte de un mapa prog_array con un programa freplace. Esto garantiza que: * Si un programa o su subprograma ha sido extendido por un programa freplace, ya no puede actualizarse a un mapa prog_array. * Si un programa ha sido agregado a un mapa prog_array, ni \u00e9l ni sus subprogramas pueden ser extendidos por un programa freplace.

This results in an infinite loop:\nentry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc.\nThe problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to\nzero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism\nto never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.\nTo fix this issue, the solution is twofold:\n1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a\nprog_array map.\n2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map\nwith an freplace program.\nThis ensures that:\n* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,\nit can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.\n* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its\nsubprograms can be extended by an freplace program.\nMoreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return\n-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a\nprog_array map.\nAdditionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a\ntab for proper formatting."], "name": "CVE-2024-47794", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Not affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Fix deferred", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2025-01-11T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-47794\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-47794\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2025011120-CVE-2024-47794-09e9@gregkh/T"], "statement": "The default Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel prevents unprivileged users from being able to use eBPF by the kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl.
