Hi, Daniel & Greg
This patch (979d63d50c0c bpf: prevent out of bounds speculation on pointer arithmetic) was assigned a CVE (CVE-2019-7308) with a high score:
CVSS v3.0 Severity and Metrics: Base Score: 9.8 CRITICAL
And this patch is not in stable-4.4, would you please backport this patch to 4.4?
We don't handle kernels as old as 4.4, so someone else would need to do the backporting e.g. from your side. The series has been backported to the last two most-recent stable kernels at that time (we usually follow netdev practice here), and there have been asks about 4.14 as well; I've been looking into backporting for the latter last two weeks on and off, but there are conflicts all over the place in fragile core areas where I didn't have enough free cycles to complete it yet. For old kernels, you're probably better off doing something like this in your tree instead of the huge complexity with a backport:
