Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix stack-out-of-bounds write in devmap get_upper_ifindexes() iterates over all upper devices and writes their
indices into an array without checking bounds. Also the callers assume that the max number of upper devices is
MAX_NEST_DEV and allocate excluded_devices[1+MAX_NEST_DEV] on the stack,
but that assumption is not correct and the number of upper devices could
be larger than MAX_NEST_DEV (e.g., many macvlans), causing a
stack-out-of-bounds write. Add a max parameter to get_upper_ifindexes() to avoid the issue.
When there are too many upper devices, return -EOVERFLOW and abort the
redirect. To reproduce, create more than MAX_NEST_DEV(8) macvlans on a device with
an XDP program attached using BPF_F_BROADCAST | BPF_F_EXCLUDE_INGRESS.
Then send a packet to the device to trigger the XDP redirect path.
