CVE-2026-74371
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix BPF_PROG_QUERY OOB write and cgroup backward compat
BPF_PROG_QUERY writes back the 'query.revision' field unconditionally to
userspace. If userspace passes a smaller 'bpf_attr' structure (e.g. 40
bytes, which was the layout before the addition of 'query.revision'),
the kernel performs an out-of-bounds write.
Fix this by propagating the user-provided attribute size 'uattr_size'
down to the cgroup query handlers, and conditionally skipping writing
the revision field to userspace when the provided buffer size is
insufficient.
query.revision in bpf_mprog_query is structurally identical to the
cgroup case: a late tail field, written unconditionally.
But the backward-compat hazard is not the same.
The min-historical-size test is per command, and bpf_mprog_query only
serves attach types that were born with revision in the struct:
- tcx_prog_query -> BPF_TCX_INGRESS/EGRESS
- netkit_prog_query -> BPF_NETKIT_PRIMARY/PEER
tcx, netkit, the revision field, and bpf_mprog_query itself all landed in
the same v6.6 merge window (053c8e1f235d added the mprog query API +
revision; tcx in e420bed02507, netkit in 35dfaad7188c). There has never
been a tcx/netkit BPF_PROG_QUERY userspace that doesn't know about
revision. So for these commands the minimum legitimate struct already
covers offset 56-64 — no old binary can be broken here.
Contrast with cgroup: BPF_PROG_QUERY on cgroup attach types shipped in
2017; revision write-back was bolted on years later (120933984460). That
path has a real population of pre-revision callers.
