[PATCH 1/2] bpf: cgroup: Fix optlen WARN_ON_ONCE toctou

From: Loris Reiff <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-22 17:21:34

A toctou issue in `__cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt` can trigger a
WARN_ON_ONCE in a check of `copy_from_user`.
`*optlen` is checked to be non-negative in the individual getsockopt
functions beforehand. Changing `*optlen` in a race to a negative value
will result in a `copy_from_user(ctx.optval, optval, ctx.optlen)` with
`ctx.optlen` being a negative integer.

[PATCH 2/2] bpf: cgroup: Fix problematic bounds check

From: Loris Reiff <hidden>
Date: 2021-01-22 16:51:22

Since ctx.optlen is signed, a larger value than max_value could be
passed, as it is later on used as unsigned, which causes a WARN_ON_ONCE
in the copy_to_user.

Thanks! I assume this is only an issue if the BPF program is written
incorrectly.

Yes exactly.

Good point, user's optlen can be concurrently changed after the kernel
updated it.
