No network-facing path emits JITted signed ALU32 div/mod on behalf of a remote peer.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the BPF instruction sequence and the divisor/dividend, so producing a negative signed ALU32 quotient or remainder is deterministic and repeatable with no race, timing, or memory-layout dependency.\nPR:L - Loading an eBPF program requires only an unprivileged local user where unprivileged BPF is permitted, or CAP_BPF/CAP_SYS_ADMIN which is reachable via user namespaces on many deployments; no real root in the init namespace is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker loads and runs its own BPF program; no action by any other user or administrator is required at any point.\nS:U - The verifier bypass and resulting memory corruption stay within the kernel's own security authority on the same host, giving kernel-level privilege escalation rather than crossing a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor boundary.\nC:H - The verifier models bits 63:32 of the ALU32 result as zero while the JIT leaves them set, so a later ALU64 shift lets the verifier conclude a register is constant zero when it is really 0xFFFFFFFF; using it as a pointer offset yields an attacker-controlled out-of-bounds read of arbitrary kernel memory.\nI:H - The same verifier/JIT range mismatch produces an out-of-bounds pointer that passes verification for stores as well as loads, giving an arbitrary kernel write primitive usable for control-flow hijacking and full privilege escalation.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds accesses through the mis-tracked register readily fault on unmapped or protected kernel addresses, causing an oops or panic, and the corruption can be repeated at will to bring the system down."}]}],"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":"2425c9e002d2a1fdca34261b2fa6713eafef2163","lessThan":"716cb29dbed4d62e9e108950a1a82bcba4cc2d45","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"2425c9e002d2a1fdca34261b2fa6713eafef2163","lessThan":"dacd348b8a993373576fe2ee2d8b114740ba57a6","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"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":"6.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","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":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/716cb29dbed4d62e9e108950a1a82bcba4cc2d45"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dacd348b8a993373576fe2ee2d8b114740ba57a6"}],"title":"LoongArch: BPF: Zero-extend signed ALU32 div/mod results","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
