Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: Reject negative optlen in cgroup getsockopt hook
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 16:01:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726070122.2407344-1-zirajs7@gmail.com> (raw)

A cgroup getsockopt BPF program can shrink ctx->optlen after the
kernel getsockopt handler has run. The kernel-buffer variant, used by
TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE, only rejects values larger than the original
length.

If BPF writes a negative optlen, that value is accepted and propagated
back to the TCP getsockopt code. It can then be passed to
copy_to_sockptr() as a size_t and trigger the hardened usercopy
bytes > INT_MAX warning.

Reject negative ctx.optlen in __cgroup_bpf_run_filter_getsockopt_kern(),
matching the lower-bound validation already present in the sockptr-based
getsockopt hook.

Fixes: 9cacf81f8161 ("bpf: Remove extra lock_sock for TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE")

Reproducer and warning: 
https://gist.github.com/ZirAjs/a177ec6d8f2c8ed7d93edca6313a9255

Tested by building and booting the patched kernel. The reproducer 
returns -EFAULT and no longer triggers the hardened usercopy warning.
