Merge branch 'bpf-verifier-fix-ptr_to_flow_keys-constant-offset-oob'
Nuoqi Gui says:
====================
bpf, verifier: fix PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS constant-offset OOB
A constant offset added to a PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS register lands in
reg->var_off, but check_flow_keys_access() bounds-checks only insn->off
and never folds reg->var_off.value. A BPF_PROG_TYPE_FLOW_DISSECTOR
program can therefore do "flow_keys += 0x1000; *(flow_keys + 0)" and have
it accepted, then read/write kernel stack past struct bpf_flow_keys at
runtime. Patch 1 folds reg->var_off.value into the offset (and rejects
non-constant offsets), mirroring check_ctx_access(); patch 2 adds verifier
selftests.
This is a regression introduced in the 7.1 development cycle by commit
022ac0750883 ("bpf: use reg->var_off instead of reg->off for pointers"),
which moved the constant offset from reg->off (folded generically before
022ac0750883) into reg->var_off without updating the flow_keys path. No
released kernel is affected: v7.0.x rejects the program above, and the bug
reproduces only on v7.1-rc1..rc5, so no stable backport is needed.
It was first reported privately to security@kernel.org; per their guidance
it is handled in the open as a normal regression fix. Found by manual
verifier audit and confirmed dynamically in a disposable QEMU/KVM guest:
the load above is accepted, a runtime read leaked a kernel-stack pointer
0x1000 past bpf_flow_keys, and a runtime write of a marker faulted the
guest in net_rx_action.
An alternative -- forbidding pointer arithmetic on PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS
outright by dropping "if (known) break;" in adjust_ptr_min_max_vals() --
was rejected because v7.0.x accepted (and correctly bounds-checked)
constant arithmetic on the keys pointer; restoring the fold preserves that
behaviour while closing the divergence.

v2 -> v3:
- Pass existing reg/argno context into check_flow_keys_access(), avoiding
a stale regno reference in check_mem_access().
- Add a variable-offset selftest using bpf_get_prandom_u32().
v1 -> v2:
- Target bpf-next instead of bpf (per reviewer feedback).
- Base-commit updated to bpf-next/master.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20260604180730.2518088-1-gnq25@mails.tsinghua.edu.cn/
