Per kernel scoring guidance, BPF is a Local attack vector.\nAC:L - The miscompilation is deterministic \u2014 every bpf2bpf call site in a JITed program on LoongArch unconditionally clobbers R0 with the sign-extended low 32 bits, with no race, timing, or memory-layout precondition for the corruption itself. The attacker fully controls the program text, the returned pointer type, and the dereference offset.\nPR:L - Loading a subprog-containing SOCKET_FILTER/CGROUP_SKB program needs no capability at all when kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=0, a supported and widely-deployed setting (and the default when CONFIG_BPF_UNPRIV_DEFAULT_OFF=n, common on vendor/embedded LoongArch kernels). Otherwise only CAP_BPF is required, which is by design not root-equivalent and is exactly the low-privilege principal the verifier is supposed to contain.\nUI:N - The attacker loads the program and triggers it entirely on their own \u2014 e.g. attaching a socket filter to their own socket and sending a loopback packet. No victim action is involved.\nS:U - The corruption and its consequences are confined to the kernel's own security authority; there is no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary crossed. This is standard in-kernel privilege escalation territory.\nC:H - The caller dereferences a verifier-blessed but JIT-corrupted pointer, giving a BPF_LDX read at an attacker-influenced wild address that can land in mapped kernel memory (vmemmap/KFENCE region for bit31-set values); the loaded bytes can be stashed into a BPF map and read out from userspace, yielding kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - The identical primitive works in the store direction \u2014 BPF_STX/BPF_ST through the corrupted R0 writes fully attacker-controlled 8-byte values at an attacker-chosen displacement, an out-of-bounds kernel write leverageable for control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The upstream commit documents a confirmed kernel panic at the ld.bu instruction from the in-tree verifier test, and the wild-pointer dereference reliably oopses whenever the corrupted address is unmapped."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["arch/loongarch/net/bpf_jit.c"], "versions": [{"version": "8382e92f90b601acf6d426121e6f4991502e767d", "lessThan": "d99845f672cce0b610f7c51248ef95d7df63927e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "0c8d50501bc13cacecc19caaddc10db372592a39", "lessThan": "7df2696256a034405d3c5a71b3a4c54725de4404", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d5d83242a1d778ceb6d8b07c6b491cf7483ca112", "lessThan": "223d565d8892481684091cfbaf3466f2b0e289d3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "73c359d1d356cf10236ccd358bd55edab33e9424", "lessThan": "780628a780b622759d9e5adc76d15432144da1a3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "73c359d1d356cf10236ccd358bd55edab33e9424", "lessThan": "996e90ab446641553e8e21707b38b9709605e0e0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "73c359d1d356cf10236ccd358bd55edab33e9424", "lessThan": "60f3caff1492e5b8616b9578c4bedb5c0a88ed14", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "3b75f627b73d96787a493e2f1187543ba9c056a4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6.1.120", "lessThan": "6.1.191", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.64", "lessThan": "6.6.87", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.2", "lessThan": "6.12.23", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.11.11", "lessThan": "6.12", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["arch/loongarch/net/bpf_jit.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.13", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.191", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.87", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.23", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.13.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.13.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.14.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.120", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.191"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.64", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.87"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12.2", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.23"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.13.11"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.2"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.11.11"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d99845f672cce0b610f7c51248ef95d7df63927e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7df2696256a034405d3c5a71b3a4c54725de4404"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/223d565d8892481684091cfbaf3466f2b0e289d3"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/780628a780b622759d9e5adc76d15432144da1a3"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/996e90ab446641553e8e21707b38b9709605e0e0"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60f3caff1492e5b8616b9578c4bedb5c0a88ed14"}], "title": "LoongArch: BPF: Don't override subprog's return value", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
