CVE-2022-48714 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Use VM_MAP instead of VM_ALLOC for ringbuf

After commit 2fd3fb0be1d1 (\kasan vmalloc: unpoison VM_ALLOC pages after mapping) non-VM_ALLOC mappings will be marked as accessible in __get_vm_area_node() when KASAN is enabled. But now the flag for ringbuf area is VM_ALLOC so KASAN will complain out-of-bound access after vmap() returns. Because the ringbuf area is created by mapping allocated pages so use VM_MAP instead.

After the change info in /proc/vmallocinfo also changes from [start]-[end] 24576 ringbuf_map_alloc+0x171/0x290 vmalloc user to [start]-[end] 24576 ringbuf_map_alloc+0x171/0x290 vmap user
