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

bpf: Fix tail_call_reachable rejection for interpreter when jit failed

During testing of f263a81451c1 (“bpf: Track subprog poke descriptors correctly
and fix use-after-free”) under various failure conditions, for example, when
jit_subprogs() fails and tries to clean up the program to be run under the
interpreter, we ran into the following freeze:

Turns out that the program rejection from e411901c0b77 (“bpf: allow for tailcalls
in BPF subprograms for x64 JIT”) is buggy since env->prog->aux->tail_call_reachable
is never true. Commit ebf7d1f508a7 (“bpf, x64: rework pro/epilogue and tailcall
handling in JIT”) added a tracker into check_max_stack_depth() which propagates
the tail_call_reachable condition throughout the subprograms. This info is then
assigned to the subprogram’s
