bpftool: Fix truncated netlink dumps

2026-02-26T22:59:39+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3b39d73cc3379360a33eb583b17f21fe55e1288e ] Netlink requires that the recv buffer used during dumps is at least min(PAGE_SIZE, 8k) (see the man page). Otherwise the messages will get truncated. Make sure bpftool follows this requirement, avoid missing information on systems with large pages.

bpftool: Fix memory leak in dump_xx_nlmsg on realloc failure

2025-06-20T18:32:36+00:00

In function dump_xx_nlmsg(), when realloc() fails to allocate memory, the original pointer to the buffer is overwritten with NULL. This causes a memory leak because the previously allocated buffer becomes unreachable without being freed.

bpftool: Using the right format specifiers

2025-03-17T20:50:56+00:00

Fixed some formatting specifiers errors, such as using %d for int and %u for unsigned int, as well as other byte-length types. Perform type cast using the type derived from the data type itself, for example, if it's originally an int, it will be cast to unsigned int if forced to unsigned.

bpftool: Fix undefined behavior in qsort(NULL, 0, ...)

2024-09-10T18:40:55+00:00

When netfilter has no entry to display, qsort is called with qsort(NULL, 0, ...). This results in undefined behavior, as UBSan reports: net.c:827:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null Although the C standard does not explicitly state whether calling qsort with a NULL pointer when the size is 0 constitutes undefined behavior, Section 7.1.4 of the C standard (Use of library functions) mentions: "Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly stated otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow: If an argument to a function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of the function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or a null pointer, or a pointer to non-modifiable storage when the corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a type (after promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of arguments, the behavior is undefined." To avoid this, add an early return when nf_link_info is NULL to prevent calling qsort with a NULL pointer.

bpftool: Fix undefined behavior caused by shifting into the sign bit

2024-09-09T22:57:09+00:00

Replace shifts of '1' with '1U' in bitwise operations within __show_dev_tc_bpf() to prevent undefined behavior caused by shifting into the sign bit of a signed integer. By using '1U', the operations are explicitly performed on unsigned integers, avoiding potential integer overflow or sign-related issues.
