Summary

In the Linux kernel, the cls_bpf module did not verify that a device-bound (offloaded) eBPF program is bound to the same network interface to which the classifier is being attached. This allowed attaching a program intended for device A to device B, and after deleting device A it caused a system panic.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with privileges to load eBPF programs and configure TC can cause a system panic, resulting in service disruption.

Recommendation

Install the latest Linux kernel patch that rejects attaching device-bound programs to a different interface (returning -EINVAL).

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: cls_bpf: reject dev-bound programs bound to a different device cls_bpf_prog_from_efd() obtained a SCHED_CLS program via bpf_prog_get_type_dev() but never verified that a device-bound (offloaded) program's bound netdev matches the TC netdev the classifier is being attached to. This let a program loaded with prog_ifindex for device A be attached via cls_bpf + skip_sw to device B; deleting device A then destroyed the program's offload state while it was still attached to device B, triggering a netdevsim WARN (panic with panic_on_warn=1). Mirror the XDP attach path (net/core/dev.c) and reject the attach with -EINVAL when a dev-bound program's bound device does not match the target device.
