Descriptions

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

libbpf: Prevent null-pointer dereference when prog to load has no BTF

In bpf_objec_load_prog(), there's no guarantee that obj->btf is non-NULL
when passing it to btf__fd(), and this function does not perform any
check before dereferencing its argument (as bpf_object__btf_fd() used to
do). As a consequence, we get segmentation fault errors in bpftool (for
example) when trying to load programs that come without BTF information.

v2: Keep btf__fd() in the fix instead of reverting to bpf_object__btf_fd().

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: libbpf: evita la desreferencia del puntero nulo cuando el programa a cargar no tiene BTF. En bpf_objec_load_prog(), no hay garantía de que obj->btf no sea NULL al pasarlo a btf__fd() , y esta función no realiza ninguna verificación antes de eliminar la referencia a su argumento (como solía hacer bpf_object__btf_fd()). Como consecuencia, obtenemos errores de segmentación en bpftool (por ejemplo) cuando intentamos cargar programas que vienen sin información BTF. v2: Mantenga btf__fd() en la solución en lugar de volver a bpf_object__btf_fd().
