Vulnerabilities > CVE-2022-48939 - Excessive Iteration vulnerability in Linux Kernel

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Add schedule points in batch ops syzbot reported various soft lockups caused by bpf batch operations. INFO: task kworker/1:1:27 blocked for more than 140 seconds. INFO: task hung in rcu_barrier Nothing prevents batch ops to process huge amount of data, we need to add schedule points in them. Note that maybe_wait_bpf_programs(map) calls from generic_map_delete_batch() can be factorized by moving the call after the loop. This will be done later in -next tree once we get this fix merged, unless there is strong opinion doing this optimization sooner.
