CVE-2024-49888
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix a sdiv overflow issue
Zac Ecob reported a problem where a bpf program may cause kernel crash due to the following error: Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
The failure is due to the below signed divide: LLONG_MIN/-1 where LLONG_MIN equals to -9,223,372,036,854,775,808. LLONG_MIN/-1 is supposed to give a positive number 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, but it is impossible since for 64-bit system, the maximum positive number is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807. On x86_64, LLONG_MIN/-1 will cause a kernel exception. On arm64, the result for LLONG_MIN/-1 is LLONG_MIN.

Insn patching is needed to handle the above cases and the patched codes produced results aligned with above arm64 result. The below are pseudo codes to handle sdiv/smod exceptions including both divisor -1 and divisor 0 and the divisor is stored in a register.
Detalles técnicos trazas, registros y código del informe original
Further investigation found all the following sdiv/smod cases may trigger
an exception when bpf program is running on x86_64 platform:
- LLONG_MIN/-1 for 64bit operation
- INT_MIN/-1 for 32bit operation
- LLONG_MIN%-1 for 64bit operation
- INT_MIN%-1 for 32bit operation
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.
On arm64, there are no exceptions:
- LLONG_MIN/-1 = LLONG_MIN
- INT_MIN/-1 = INT_MIN
- LLONG_MIN%-1 = 0
- INT_MIN%-1 = 0
where -1 can be an immediate or in a register.

Se supone que LLONG_MIN/-1 da un número positivo 9.223.372.036.854.775.808, pero es imposible ya que para sistemas de 64 bits, el número positivo máximo es 9.223.372.036.854.775.807. En x86_64, LLONG_MIN/-1 provocará una excepción del kernel. En arm64, el resultado para LLONG_MIN/-1 es LLONG_MIN. Una investigación más profunda encontró que todos los siguientes casos de sdiv/smod pueden activar una excepción cuando el programa bpf se ejecuta en la plataforma x86_64: - LLONG_MIN/-1 para operación de 64 bits - INT_MIN/-1 para operación de 32 bits - LLONG_MIN%-1 para operación de 64 bits - INT_MIN%-1 para operación de 32 bits donde -1 puede ser inmediato o en un registro. En arm64, no hay excepciones: - LLONG_MIN/-1 = LLONG_MIN - INT_MIN/-1 = INT_MIN - LLONG_MIN%-1 = 0 - INT_MIN%-1 = 0 donde -1 puede ser inmediato o en un registro. Se necesita aplicar un parche a Insn para manejar los casos anteriores y los códigos parcheados produjeron resultados alineados con el resultado de arm64 anterior. Los siguientes son pseudocódigos para manejar excepciones sdiv/smod incluyendo tanto el divisor -1 como el divisor 0 y el divisor se almacena en un registro. sdiv: tmp = rX tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1] if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L2 if tmp == 0 goto L1 rY = 0 L1: rY = -rY; goto L3 L2: rY /= rX L3: smod: tmp = rX tmp += 1 /* [-1, 0] -> [0, 1] if tmp >(unsigned) 1 goto L1 if tmp == 1 (is64 ? goto L2 : goto L3) rY = 0; goto L2 L1: rY %= rX L2: goto L4 // solo cuando !is64 L3: wY = wY // solo cuando !is64 L4: [1] https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/tPJLTEh7S_DxFEqAI2Ji5MBSoZVg7_G-Py2iaZpAaWtM961fFTWtsnlzwvTbzBzaUzwQAoNATXKUlt0LZOFgnDcIyKCswAnAGdUF3LBrhGQ=@protonmail.com/"
