[PATCH 4.14 37/47] bpf/verifier: disallow pointer subtraction

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jun 08 2021 - 14:34:53 EST


From: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd066823db2ac4e22f721ec85190817b58059a54 upstream.

Subtraction of pointers was accidentally allowed for unpriv programs
by commit 82abbf8d2fc4. Revert that part of commit.

Fixes: 82abbf8d2fc4 ("bpf: do not allow root to mangle valid pointers")
