In particular for task local storage, it is easy to\nget a \"current\" task PTR_TO_BTF_ID in tracing bpf prog.\nHowever, task (and cgroup) local storage has already been moved to\nbpf mem allocator which can be used after raw_spin_lock.\n\nThe splat is for the sk storage. For sk (and inode) storage,\nit has not been moved to bpf mem allocator. Using raw_spin_lock or not,\nkzalloc(GFP_ATOMIC) could theoretically be unsafe in tracing context.\nHowever, the local storage helper requires a verifier accepted\nsk pointer (PTR_TO_BTF_ID), it is hypothetical if that (mean running\na bpf prog in a kzalloc unsafe context and also able to hold a verifier\naccepted sk pointer) could happen.\n\nThis patch avoids kzalloc after raw_spin_lock to silent the splat.\nThere is an existing kzalloc before the raw_spin_lock. At that point,\na kzalloc is very likely required because a lookup has just been done\nbefore. Thus, this patch always does the kzalloc before acq\n---truncated---","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-12-09T01:30:23.593+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-03T10:55:03.225+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"kernel/bpf/bpf_local_storage.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"b00fa38a9c1cba044a32a601b49a55a18ed719d1\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"47cf3387de902e8f61f705b06cb2fc1315d26932\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"b00fa38a9c1cba044a32a601b49a55a18ed719d1\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"300415caa373a07782fcbc2f8d9429bc2dc27a47\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"b00fa38a9c1cba044a32a601b49a55a18ed719d1\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"a96a44aba556c42b432929d37d60158aca21ad4c\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"git\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"},{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Linux","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"product\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Linux\",\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"affected\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"kernel/bpf/bpf_local_storage.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"5.18\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"0\",\n                            \"lessThan\": \"5.18\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.1.189\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.1.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.5.4\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"6.5.*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \"6.6\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"*\",\n                            \"status\": \"unaffected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"original_commit_for_fix\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47cf3387de902e8f61f705b06cb2fc1315d26932","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/300415caa373a07782fcbc2f8d9429bc2dc27a47","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a96a44aba556c42b432929d37d60158aca21ad4c"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-53857","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2023-53857","identifiers":["CVE-2023-53857"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
