This patch series addresses an out-of-bounds read issue in check_atomic_load/store() reported by syzkaller when an invalid register number (MAX_BPF_REG or greater) is used. The first patch fixes the actual bug by changing the order of validity checks, ensuring register validity is checked before atomic_ptr_type_ok() is called. It also updates some tests that were assuming the previous order of checks. The second patch adds new tests specifically for the invalid register number case to prevent regression in the future. Changes: v2: - Just swap atomic_ptr_type_ok() and check_load_mem()/check_store_reg() - Update some tests that were assuming the previous order of checks - Add new tests specifically for the invalid register number v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250314195619.23772-2-enjuk@xxxxxxxxxx/ Reported-by: syzbot+a5964227adc0f904549c@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=a5964227adc0f904549c Kohei Enju (2): bpf: Fix out-of-bounds read in check_atomic_load/store() selftests/bpf: Add selftests for load-acquire/store-release when register number is invalid kernel/bpf/verifier.c | 16 +++++++++-- .../bpf/progs/verifier_load_acquire.c | 26 +++++++++++++++-- .../bpf/progs/verifier_store_release.c | 28 +++++++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- 2.49.0
