In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Copy per-CPU map value padding in copy_map_value_long()
In kernel, per-CPU map elements are stored with
round_up(map->value_size, 8) bytes. On UAPI lookup paths, it copies the
rounded size for each CPU into a temporary buffer.
However, copy_map_value_long() passes ‘map->value_size’ to
bpf_obj_memcpy(). When the map has special fields, bpf_obj_memcpy() copies
around those fields with memcpy(), and does not copy the tail padding
between ‘map->value_size’ and round_up(map->value_size, 8).
The temporary UAPI lookup buffers are allocated without __GFP_ZERO. As a
result, when the per-CPU map’s value size is not equal to
round_up(map->value_size, 8), UAPI LOOKUP_ELEM and its variants can return
stale heap contents from that padding to user space. The same issue
applies to bpf_iter for per-CPU maps.
Pass round_up(map->value_size, 8) to bpf_obj_memcpy() from
copy_map_value_long(), so per-CPU maps both with and without special
fields copy the entire per-CPU slot. Remove the now redundant round_up()
from bpf_obj_memcpy()’s long_memcpy path.
