      "title": "bpf: Reject pkt arguments in mutating subprogs",
      "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf: Reject pkt arguments in mutating subprogs\n\nThe verifier tracks changes in how PTR_TO_PACKET registers'\nbounds are modified across subprog boundaries. PTR_TO_PACKET\nregisters are actually passed as PTR_TO_MEM, which is assumed\nvalid for the entire call. This is not the case with packet memory,\nwhere a pskb_* call may invalidate its memory region.\n\nReject BPF code that passes PTR_TO_PACKET pointers to subprogs that\nmay mutate a packet. We cannot pass the pointer as a true PTR_TO_PACKET\nbecause we would also need to somehow pass the PTR_TO_PACKET_META\nor PTR_TO_PACKET_END to the subprog. Since we cannot avoid representing\nthe pointer in the subprog as PTR_TO_MEM, only permit it if the\nsubprog is guaranteed not to mutate the packet.",
