From 37435f7e80ef9adc32a69013c18f135e3f434244 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Sat, 23 Dec 2017 02:26:17 +0000 Subject: bpf/verifier: Fix states_equal() comparison of pointer and UNKNOWN An UNKNOWN_VALUE is not supposed to be derived from a pointer, unless pointer leaks are allowed. Therefore, states_equal() must not treat a state with a pointer in a register as "equal" to a state with an UNKNOWN_VALUE in that register. This was fixed differently upstream, but the code around here was largely rewritten in 4.14 by commit f1174f77b50c "bpf/verifier: rework value tracking". The bug can be detected by the bpf/verifier sub-test "pointer/scalar confusion in state equality check (way 1)".
