CVE-2024-50162 Affecting kernel-64k-debug-modules package, versions *

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-64k-debug-modules package and not the kernel-64k-debug-modules package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

bpf: devmap: provide rxq after redirect

rxq contains a pointer to the device from where the redirect happened. Currently, the BPF program that was executed after a redirect via BPF_MAP_TYPE_DEVMAP* does not have it set.

This is particularly bad since accessing ingress_ifindex, e.g.

SEC("xdp") int prog(struct xdp_md *pkt) { return bpf_redirect_map(&dev_redirect_map, 0, 0); }

SEC("xdp/devmap") int prog_after_redirect(struct xdp_md *pkt) { bpf_printk("ifindex %i", pkt->ingress_ifindex); return XDP_PASS; }

depends on access to rxq, so a NULL pointer gets dereferenced:
