In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix re-attachment branch in bpftracingprogattach The following case can cause a crash due to missing attachbtf: 1) load rawtp program 2) load fentry program with rawtp as targetfd 3) create tracing link for fentry program with targetfd = 0 4) repeat 3 In the end we have: - prog->aux->dsttrampoline == NULL - tgtprog == NULL (because we did not provide targetfd to linkcreate) - prog->aux->attachbtf == NULL (the program was loaded with attachprogfd=X) - the program was loaded for tgtprog but we have no way to find out which one BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058 Call Trace: <TASK> ? _die+0x20/0x70 ? pagefaultoops+0x15b/0x430 ? fixupexception+0x22/0x330 ? excpagefault+0x6f/0x170 ? asmexcpagefault+0x22/0x30 ? bpftracingprogattach+0x279/0x560 ? btfobjid+0x5/0x10 bpftracingprogattach+0x439/0x560 _sysbpf+0x1cf4/0x2de0 _x64sysbpf+0x1c/0x30 dosyscall64+0x41/0xf0 entrySYSCALL64afterhwframe+0x6e/0x76 Return -EINVAL in this situation.
