Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Disable preemption in bpf_get_stackid The get_perf_callchain call needs disabled preemption plus we need it disabled as long as we access its returned trace entries buffer. Note the bpf_get_stackid_pe function is executed already with preemption disabled.

On PREEMPT kernels (e.g. Android) raw_tp uses migrate_disable only, so pinning and retries make the window reliably hittable.\nPR:L - Loading the required tracing programs needs CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON at bpf_prog_load(), and STACK_TRACE maps need CAP_BPF. Per kernel CNA guidance these are Low because BPF tokens and user namespaces can delegate them to non-init-namespace users, not only real root.\nUI:N - The attacker loads their own BPF program, attaches it to a tracepoint they can fire, and invokes bpf_get_stackid through their own syscalls or pinned threads; no victim mount, file open, or other user action is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds write corrupts the stack-map bucket slab inside the same host kernel security authority, enabling local privilege escalation; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other distinct trust boundary.\nC:H - After put_callchain_entry(), a reused per-CPU entry can inflate trace-\u003enr so memcpy/jhash2 and the build-id loop copy kernel instruction pointers past the attacker-sized stack_map_bucket, which is kernel memory corruption that can be turned into an arbitrary read primitive.\nI:H - Without a remaining size cap on the reused trace-\u003enr, memcpy into the preallocated stack_map_bucket (sized to a small map value_size) or the bpf_stack_build_id store loop is an attacker-sized kernel heap OOB write, up to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH frames, that can smash adjacent slab and hijack control flow.\nA:H - The same unbounded heap write past a small stack-map bucket causes a kernel oops or panic even when not fully weaponized, matching CNA guidance that any kernel crash or memory-corrupting OOB write is Availability High."
