Commit f1174f77b50c ("bpf/verifier: rework value tracking")
removed the crafty selection of which pointer types are
allowed to be modified. This is OK for most pointer types
since adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() will catch operations on
immutable pointers. One exception is PTR_TO_CTX which is
now allowed to be offseted freely.
The intent of aforementioned commit was to allow context
access via modified registers. The offset passed to
->is_valid_access() verifier callback has been adjusted
by the value of the variable offset.
What is missing, however, is taking the variable offset
into account when the context register is used. Or in terms
of the code adding the offset to the value passed to the
->convert_ctx_access() callback. This leads to the following
eBPF user code:
r1 += 68
r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 + 8)
exit
being translated to this in kernel space:
0: (07) r1 += 68
1: (61) r0 = *(u32 *)(r1 +180)
2: (95) exit
Offset 8 is corresponding to 180 in the kernel, but offset
76 is valid too. Verifier will "accept" access to offset
68+8=76 but then "convert" access to offset 8 as 180.
Effective access to offset 248 is beyond the kernel context.
(This is a __sk_buff example on a debug-heavy kernel -
packet mark is 8 -> 180, 76 would be data.)
Dereferencing the modified context pointer is not as easy
as dereferencing other types, because we have to translate
the access to reading a field in kernel structures which is
usually at a different offset and often of a different size.
To allow modifying the pointer we would have to make sure
that given eBPF instruction will always access the same
field or the fields accessed are "compatible" in terms of
offset and size...
Disallow dereferencing modified context pointers and add
to selftests the test case described here.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
