Subject: CVE-2024-47703: bpf, lsm: Add check for BPF LSM return value

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, lsm: Add check for BPF LSM return value

A bpf prog returning a positive number attached to file_alloc_security
hook makes kernel panic.

This happens because file system can not filter out the positive number
returned by the LSM prog using IS_ERR, and misinterprets this positive
number as a file pointer.

Given that hook file_alloc_security never returned positive number
before the introduction of BPF LSM, and other BPF LSM hooks may
encounter similar issues, this patch adds LSM return value check
in verifier, to ensure no unexpected value is returned.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-47703 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
