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

bpf: Skip invalid kfunc call in backtrack_insn

The verifier skips invalid kfunc call in check_kfunc_call(), which
would be captured in fixup_kfunc_call() if such insn is not eliminated
by dead code elimination. However, this can lead to the following
warning in backtrack_insn(), also see [1]:

  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  verifier backtracking bug
  WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 8646 at kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756 backtrack_insn
  kernel/bpf/verifier.c:2756
	__mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3065
	mark_chain_precision kernel/bpf/verifier.c:3165
	adjust_reg_min_max_vals kernel/bpf/verifier.c:10715

	do_check kernel/bpf/verifier.c:13821 [inline]
	do_check_common kernel/bpf/verifier.c:16289
  [...]

So make backtracking conservative with this by returning ENOTSUPP.
