relevant fixed versions and status.
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:
- load rawtp program
- load fentry program with rawtp as target_fd
- create tracing link for fentry program with target_fd = 0
- 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
