Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix crash due to incorrect copy_map_value When both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer are present in a BPF map value,
copy_map_value needs to skirt both objects when copying a value into and
out of the map. However, the current code does not set both s_off and
t_off in copy_map_value, which leads to a crash when e.g. bpf_spin_lock
is placed in map value with bpf_timer, as bpf_map_update_elem call will
be able to overwrite the other timer object. When the issue is not fixed, an overwriting can produce the following
splat: [root@(none) bpf]# ./test_progs -t timer_crash
[ 15.930339] bpf_testmod: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
