Summary

In the Linux kernel, a bug was found in the BPF sockmap's bpf_msg_push_data() function. When inserting data into a scatterlist entry, the right fragment offset was incorrectly advanced by the global insertion point instead of the local offset within the entry, causing split layout inconsistency.

Risk Assessment

This vulnerability may cause incorrect behavior of the BPF sockmap mechanism, leading to data corruption or potential integrity issues in message processing within the system.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for the bpf_msg_push_data() function. Monitor official security advisories from your distribution.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: sockmap: fix tail fragment offset in bpf_msg_push_data When bpf_msg_push_data() inserts data in the middle of a scatterlist entry, it splits the original entry into a left fragment and a right fragment. The right fragment offset is page-local, but the code advances it with `start`, which is the message-global insertion point. For inserts into a non-first SG entry, this over-advances the offset and leaves the split layout inconsistent. Advance the right fragment offset by the fragment-local delta, `start - offset`, which matches the length removed from the front of the original entry.
