CVE-2024-26591
February 22, 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix re-attachment branch in bpf_tracing_prog_attach
The following case can cause a crash due to missing attach_btf:
1) load rawtp program
2) load fentry program with rawtp as target_fd
3) create tracing link for fentry program with target_fd = 0
4) repeat 3
In the end we have:
- prog->aux->dst_trampoline == NULL
- tgt_prog == NULL (because we did not provide target_fd to link_create)
- prog->aux->attach_btf == NULL (the program was loaded with attach_prog_fd=X)
- the program was loaded for tgt_prog but we have no way to find out which one
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000058
