Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix unsound scalar forking in maybe_fork_scalars() for BPF_OR
maybe_fork_scalars() is called for both BPF_AND and BPF_OR when the
source operand is a constant. When dst has signed range [-1, 0], it
forks the verifier state: the pushed path gets dst = 0, the current
path gets dst = -1.
For BPF_AND this is correct: 0 & K == 0.
For BPF_OR this is wrong: 0 | K == K, not 0.
The pushed path therefore tracks dst as 0 when the runtime value is K,
producing an exploitable verifier/runtime divergence that allows
out-of-bounds map access.
Fix this by passing env->insn_idx (instead of env->insn_idx + 1) to
push_stack(), so the pushed path re-executes the ALU instruction with
dst = 0 and naturally computes the correct result for any opcode.
