UBUNTU-CVE-2024-56615: High severity ubuntu/linux-azure vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix OOB devmap writes when deleting elements Jordy reported issue against XSKMAP which also applies to DEVMAP - the index used for accessing map entry, due to being a signed integer, causes the OOB writes. Fix is simple as changing the type from int to u32, however, when compared to XSKMAP case, one more thing needs to be addressed. When map is released from system via devmapfree(), we iterate through all of the entries and an iterator variable is also an int, which implies OOB accesses. Again, change it to be u32.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
What level of access is required to exploit this issue?
The vulnerability is locally exploitable and requires high privileges. The issue involves BPF DEVMAP element deletion and cleanup paths.
Which Ubuntu kernel package variants are affected?
The affected software list includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, and ubuntu/linux-oracle.
What evidence might indicate that a system has encountered this condition?
Kernel logs may show an Oops or supervisor-mode page fault involving dev_map_free, potentially from the bpf_map_free_deferred workqueue. The provided example also reports an out-of-bounds access during DEVMAP cleanup.
