However,\nit never verifies that the underlying base ids, that is, with\nthe flag stripped are consistent with existing idmap mappings.\n\nThis allows construction of two verifier states where the old\nstate has R3 = R2 + 10 (both sharing base id A) while the current\nstate has R3 = R4 + 10 (base id C, unrelated to R2). The idmap\ncreates two independent entries: A->B (for R2) and A|flag->C|flag\n(for R3), without catching that A->C conflicts with A->B. State\npruning then incorrectly succeeds.\n\nFix this by additionally verifying base ID mapping consistency\nwhenever BPF_ADD_CONST is set: after mapping the compound ids,\nalso invoke check_ids() on the base IDs (flag bits stripped).\nThis ensures that if A was already mapped to B from comparing\nthe source register, any ADD_CONST derivative must also derive\nfrom B, not an unrelated C."}],"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"}}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/bpf/verifier.c"],"versions":[{"version":"98d7ca374ba4b39e7535613d40e159f09ca14da2","lessThan":"13c02881e49aac4c82b261faa26db9edf2567231","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"98d7ca374ba4b39e7535613d40e159f09ca14da2","lessThan":"691adf738817275368ed56311b7d798d617823a3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"98d7ca374ba4b39e7535613d40e159f09ca14da2","lessThan":"7d73c72cccac651acc891377a5e623e4021c6380","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"98d7ca374ba4b39e7535613d40e159f09ca14da2","lessThan":"2f2ec8e7730e21fc9bd49e0de9cdd58213ea24d0","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["kernel/bpf/verifier.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.11","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.11","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.91","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.33","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.10","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","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":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.91"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.33"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.10"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/13c02881e49aac4c82b261faa26db9edf2567231"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/691adf738817275368ed56311b7d798d617823a3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d73c72cccac651acc891377a5e623e4021c6380"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f2ec8e7730e21fc9bd49e0de9cdd58213ea24d0"}],"title":"bpf: Enforce regsafe base id consistency for BPF_ADD_CONST scalars","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"affected":[{"cpes":["cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:10"],"defaultStatus":"affected","product":"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10","vendor":"Red Hat"},{"cpes":["cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9"],"defaultStatus":"affected","product":"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9","vendor":"Red Hat"},{"cpes":["cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6"],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","product":"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6","vendor":"Red Hat"},{"cpes":["cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7"],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","product":"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7","vendor":"Red Hat"},{"cpes":["cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8"],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","product":"Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8","vendor":"Red Hat"}],"datePublic":"2026-06-24T00:00:00.000Z","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) verifier.
