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

bpf: sync_linked_regs() must preserve subreg_def

Range propagation must not affect subreg_def marks, otherwise the
following example is rewritten by verifier incorrectly when
BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32 flag is set:

  0: call bpf_ktime_get_ns                   call bpf_ktime_get_ns
  1: r0 &= 0x7fffffff       after verifier   r0 &= 0x7fffffff
  2: w1 = w0                rewrites         w1 = w0
  3: if w0 < 10 goto +0     -------------->  r11 = 0x2f5674a6     (r)
  4: r1 >>= 32                               r11 <<= 32           (r)
  5: r0 = r1                                 r1 |= r11            (r)
  6: exit;                                   if w0 < 0xa goto pc+0
                                             r1 >>= 32
                                             r0 = r1
                                             exit

(or zero extension of w1 at (2) is missing for architectures that
 require zero extension for upper register half).

The following happens w/o this patch:
- r0 is marked as not a subreg at (0);
- w1 is marked as subreg at (2);
- w1 subreg_def is overridden at (3) by copy_register_state();
- w1 is read at (5) but mark_insn_zext() does not mark (2)
  for zero extension, because w1 subreg_def is not set;
- because of BPF_F_TEST_RND_HI32 flag verifier inserts random
  value for hi32 bits of (2) (marked (r));
- this random value is read at (5).
