In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Don’t predict JMP32 pointer vs zero comparisons
Consider the following program:
r1 = map_value; /* low 32 bits are zero at runtime */
r6 = 0xdead000000000000;
if w1 != 0 goto l1;
l0: r1 += r6;
r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0);
exit;
l1: r6 = 0;
goto l0;
At the moment is_branch_taken() reports the jump as always taken,
because it does not distinguish between BPF_JMP and BPF_JMP32
comparisons when processing ‘if w1 != 0 …’.
