In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf,perf: Fix invalid progarray access in perfeventdetachbpfprog Syzbot reported [1] crash that happens for following tracing scenario: - create tracepoint perf event with attr.inherit=1, attach it to the process and set bpf program to it - attached process forks -> chid creates inherited event the new child event shares the parent's bpf program and tpevent (hence progarray) which is global for tracepoint - exit both process and its child -> release both events - first perfeventdetachbpfprog call will release tpevent->progarray and second perfeventdetachbpfprog will crash, because tpevent->progarray is NULL The fix makes sure the perfeventdetachbpfprog checks progarray is valid before it tries to remove the bpf program from it.
