Jul 30 RESCORED — CVE-2025-38607 (Linux). CVSS 7.8 → 5.5 (NVD).
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: handle jset (if a & b ...) as a jump in CFG computation
BPF_JSET is a conditional jump and currently verifier.c:can_jump()
does not know about that. This can lead to incorrect live registers
and SCC computation.
E.g. in the following example:
1: r0 = 1;
2: r2 = 2;
3: if r1 & 0x7 goto +1;
4: exit;
5: r0 = r2;
6: exit;
W/o this fix insn_successors(3) will return only (4), a jump to (5)
would be missed and r2 won't be marked as alive at (3).
