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

bpf: Preserve pointer spill metadata during half-slot cleanup

__clean_func_state() cleans dead stack slots in 4-byte halves. When the
high half of a STACK_SPILL slot is dead and the low half remains live,
cleanup converts the live low half to STACK_MISC or STACK_ZERO and clears
the saved spilled_ptr metadata.

That conversion is safe only for scalar spills. For a pointer spill, this
metadata clear lets a later 32-bit fill from the still-live half avoid the
normal non-scalar register-fill check and be treated as an ordinary scalar
stack read.

Leave non-scalar spill slots intact in this half-live shape. This is
conservative for pruning and preserves the existing
check_stack_read_fixed_off() rejection path for partial fills from pointer
spills.
