CVE-2024-42067: bpf: Take return from set_memory_rox() into account with bpf_jit_binary_lock_ro()
CSIRTS triage
- What
- BPF JIT compiler does not handle failures from set_memory_rox() when securing JIT-compiled code pages.
- Who is affected
- Systems with BPF JIT compilation enabled running untrusted or attacker-controlled eBPF programs.
- Urgency
- Medium; impacts BPF security hardening but requires specific memory protection failure conditions.
- Action
- Update Linux kernel to include BPF set_memory_rox() error handling fix.
