PREVAIL is a Polynomial-Runtime EBPF Verifier using an Abstract Interpretation Layer. Prior to version 0.2.4, the prevail eBPF verifier accepts ALU32 ADD and SUB instructions that operate on pointer-typed registers without checking the is64 flag. Because ALU32 arithmetic zero-extends the 32-bit result, the upper half of any pointer is silently destroyed at runtime, yet prevail marks the program as verified safe. Any caller that can submit an eBPF program for verification — including unprivileged users on kernels that permit BPF program loading — can produce a program that passes verification but faults or misbehaves at runtime. This issue has been patched in version 0.2.4.

PREVAIL is a Polynomial-Runtime EBPF Verifier using an Abstract Interpretation Layer. Prior to version 0.2.4, the abstract transformer in prevail treats writes through a TCTX-typed base register as a silent no-op: domemstore in src/crab/ebpftransformer.cpp only models TSTACK stores, and the checker's TCTX bounds arm never tests AccessType::write. An attacker can craft an eBPF program that overwrites a context field (e.g., ctx->data), reload that field typed as TPACKET, and dereference an attacker-controlled address — and prevail will report the program as safe. This issue has been patched in version 0.2.4.
