This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-xilinx-
zynqmp/5.4.0-1018.21 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test
the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is
solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-
done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-
needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will
be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how
to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

Title:
  Disable unprivileged BPF by default

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Unprivileged users have access to BPF, allowing them to execute code in the 
kernel under their control. Though restricted and verified, a lot of security 
issues have been uncovered over the years, indicating that it should be 
disabled by default in order to protect our users.

  Admins can reenable that access or give CAP_BPF to programs if needed.

  [Test case]
  A qa-regression-testing testcase has been added that checks for the ability 
to load BPF programs under different circumstances.

  [Potential regression]
  Users who rely on unprivileged BPF access will need to change the setting or 
give CAP_BPF to their programs. Also, sysctl and bpf code might be affected.
