CVE-2022-48770 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Guard against accessing NULL pt_regs in bpf_get_task_stack()

task_pt_regs() can return NULL on powerpc for kernel threads. This is then used in __bpf_get_stack() to check for user mode resulting in a kernel oops. Guard against this by checking return value of task_pt_regs() before trying to obtain the call chain.
