How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2023 bpftool6.12-debuginfo to version 1:6.12.114-139.210.amzn2023 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2023-2026-3402.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bpftool6.12-debuginfo package and not the bpftool6.12-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: don't rewrite bpf_fastcall patterns entered by a jump

mark_fastcall_pattern_for_call() must ensure that matched "spill; call; fill" instruction series is not interrupted by a jump. Otherwise the rewrite applied by bpf_remove_fastcall_spills_fills() is not sound.

Record the instructions targeted by jumps in insn_aux_data[*].jump_target when the CFG is built and use this flag to stop growing a pattern at such an instruction. Jumps to the first spill are fine.

Note that existing insn_aux_data[*].jmp_point field can't be reused, as it marks subprogram return instructions.
