In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf,perf: Fix invalid progarray access in perfeventdetachbpf_prog
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 prog_array is valid before it tries to remove the bpf program from it.
