CVE-2023-54283 — bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Address KCSAN report on bpf_lru_list KCSAN reported a data-race when accessing node->ref. Although node->ref does not have to be accurate, take this chance to use a more common READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() pattern instead of data_race(). There is an existing bpf_lru_node_is_ref() and bpf_lru_node_set_ref(). This patch also adds bpf_lru_node_clear_ref() to do the WRITE_ONCE(node->ref, 0) also. ================================================================== BUG: KCSAN: data-race in __bpf_lru_list_rotate / __htab_lru_percpu_map_update_elem write to 0xffff888137038deb of 1 bytes by task 11240 on cpu 1: __bpf_lru_node_move kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:113 [inline] __bpf_lru_list_rotate_active kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:149 [inline] __bpf_lru_list_rotate+0x1bf/0x750 kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:240 bpf_lru_list_pop_free_to_local kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:329 [inline] bpf_common_lru_pop_free kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:447 [inline] bpf_lru_pop_free+0x638/0xe20 kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.c:499 prealloc_lru_pop kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:290 [inline] __htab_lru_percpu_map_update_elem+0xe7/0x820 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1316 bpf_percpu_hash_update+0x5e/0x90 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:2313 bpf_map_update_value+0x2a9/0x370 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:200 generic_map_update_batch+0x3ae/0x4f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1687 bpf_map_do_batch+0x2d9/0x3d0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4534 __sys_bpf+0x338/0x810 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5096 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x43/0x50 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd read to 0xffff888137038deb of 1 bytes by task 11241 on cpu 0: bpf_lru_node_set_ref kernel/bpf/bpf_lru_list.h:70 [inline] __htab_lru_percpu_map_update_elem+0x2f1/0x820 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1332 bpf_percpu_hash_update+0x5e/0x90 kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:2313 bpf_map_update_value+0x2a9/0x370 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:200 generic_map_update_batch+0x3ae/0x4f0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1687 bpf_map_do_batch+0x2d9/0x3d0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:4534 __sys_bpf+0x338/0x810 __do_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5096 [inline] __se_sys_bpf kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 [inline] __x64_sys_bpf+0x43/0x50 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:5094 do_syscall_x64 arch/x86/entry/common.c:50 [inline] do_syscall_64+0x41/0xc0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:80 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd value changed: 0x01 -> 0x00 Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on: CPU: 0 PID: 11241 Comm: syz-executor.3 Not tainted 6.3.0-rc7-syzkaller-00136-g6a66fdd29ea1 #0 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 03/30/2023 ==================================================================

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
