Subject: CVE-2025-38723: LoongArch: BPF: Fix jump offset calculation in tailcall
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: BPF: Fix jump offset calculation in tailcall
The extra pass of bpf_int_jit_compile() skips JIT context initialization
which essentially skips offset calculation leaving out_offset = -1, so
the jmp_offset in emit_bpf_tail_call is calculated by
"#define jmp_offset (out_offset - (cur_offset))"
is a negative number, which is wrong. The final generated assembly are
as follow.
54: bgeu $a2, $t1, -8 # 0x0000004c
58: addi.d $a6, $s5, -1
5c: bltz $a6, -16 # 0x0000004c
60: alsl.d $t2, $a2, $a1, 0x3
64: ld.d $t2, $t2, 264
68: beq $t2, $zero, -28 # 0x0000004c
Before apply this patch, the follow test case will reveal soft lock issues.
cd tools/testing/selftests/bpf/
./test_progs --allow=tailcalls/tailcall_bpf2bpf_1
dmesg:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#2 stuck for 26s! [test_progs:25056]
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-38723 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:
