Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/bpf: Replace ly instruction with llgf cpu_nr is a 32 bit value and BPF_REG_0 is a 64 bit register, when ly loads the cpu_nr into BPF_REG_0 it does not zero the upper bits, but llgf does.

CAP_BPF is also granted by bpf_token_capable() in a delegated user namespace.\nUI:N - The attacker loads the crafted program with bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD) and executes it themselves via BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN (sk_filter_prog_ops.test_run = bpf_prog_test_run_skb) or SO_ATTACH_BPF on their own socket; no other user must mount, open, or otherwise act.\nS:U - LY leaving stale high bits in BPF_REG_0 lets the JITed program read and write the host kernel through a verifier-approved PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE. That stays inside the same kernel authority; it is not a KVM guest-to-host or IOMMU bypass.\nC:H - do_refine_retval_range() sets R0\u2019s 64-bit range to [0, nr_cpu_ids-1] after BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id, so check_map_access() allows adding it to a map-value pointer. LY preserves attacker high bits, so the subsequent BPF_LDX reads kernel memory far outside the map.\nI:H - The same forged pointer is a BPF_STX destination: the store lands at map_value + ((old_r0 \u0026 0xFFFFFFFF00000000) | cpu_nr). That is an attacker-controlled kernel write usable for corruption and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Using that out-of-bounds map-value pointer (map_value plus the uncleared high 32 bits of %r14 after LY of cpu_nr) faults on unmapped addresses and oopses or panics the kernel."
