Summary

In the Linux kernel, two LSM hooks (task_to_inode and inet_conn_established) have been removed from the list of hooks usable by sleepable BPF programs. The bpf_lsm_task_to_inode() hook is called under rcu_read_lock(), and bpf_lsm_inet_conn_established() is called from softirq context, making them unsafe for sleepable programs.

Risk Assessment

Attempting to use these hooks with sleepable BPF programs could lead to unpredictable kernel behavior, including potential synchronization bugs and data integrity violations.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix. Sleepable BPF programs should no longer use the task_to_inode or inet_conn_established hooks.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Drop task_to_inode and inet_conn_established from lsm sleepable hooks bpf_lsm_task_to_inode() is called under rcu_read_lock() and bpf_lsm_inet_conn_established() is called from softirq context, so neither hook can be used by sleepable LSM programs.
