Description:
 In the Linux kernel 5.5.0 and newer, the bpf verifier
 (kernel/bpf/verifier.c) did not properly restrict the register bounds for
 32-bit operations, leading to out-of-bounds reads and writes in kernel
 memory. The vulnerability also affects the Linux 5.4 stable series,
 starting with v5.4.7, as the introducing commit was backported to that
 branch. This vulnerability was fixed in 5.6.1, 5.5.14, and 5.4.29. (issue
 is aka ZDI-CAN-10780)
Ubuntu-Description:
 Manfred Paul discovered that the bpf verifier in the Linux kernel did not
 properly calculate register bounds for certain operations. A local attacker
 could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory) or gain
 administrative privileges.
Notes:
 sbeattie> introduced by upstream commit 581738a681b6, which
   was mistakenly backported to upstream stable 5.4 kernel
   (b4de258dede528f88f401259aab3147fb6da1ddf). Ubuntu's 5.3 kernels
   are affected because 5.4 stable backport commits were pulled into
   Ubuntu's 5.3 kernels.
Mitigation:
 Mitigation for this vulnerability is available by setting the
 kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled sysctl to 1:
    $ sudo sysctl kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1
    $ echo kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled=1 | \
      sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/90-CVE-2020-8835.conf
 This issue is also mitigated on systems that use secure
 boot, thanks to the kernel lockdown feature which blocks
 BPF program loading.
