CVE-2019-7308

Published: 1 February 2019

kernel/bpf/verifier.c in the Linux kernel before 4.20.6 performs undesirable out-of-bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic in various cases, including cases of different branches with different state or limits to sanitize, leading to side-channel attacks.

From the Ubuntu Security Team

Jann Horn discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel was insufficiently hardened against Spectre V1 attacks. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.

Notes

AuthorNote
tyhicks
Mitigation for this vulnerability is available by setting the
kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl to 1:
$ sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1
$ echo kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1 | \
sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/90-CVE-2019-7308.conf
This issue is mitigated on systems that use secure boot, thanks to
the kernel lockdown feature which blocks BPF program loading.
