libbpf: Fix reuse of DEVMAP

2025-10-15T09:56:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6c6b4146deb12d20f42490d5013f2043df942161 ] Previously, re-using pinned DEVMAP maps would always fail, because get_map_info on a DEVMAP always returns flags with BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG set, but BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG being set on a map during creation is invalid. Thus, ignore the BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG flag in the flags returned from get_map_info when checking for compatibility with an existing DEVMAP. The same problem is handled in a third-party ebpf library: - https://github.com/cilium/ebpf/issues/925 - https://github.com/cilium/ebpf/pull/930 Fixes: 0cdbb4b09a06 ("devmap: Allow map lookups from eBPF") Signed-off-by: Yureka Lilian Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20250814180113.1245565-3-yuka@yuka.dev Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

libbpf: Fix buffer overflow in bpf_object__init_prog

2025-06-27T10:07:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit ee684de5c1b0ac01821320826baec7da93f3615b ] As shown in [1], it is possible to corrupt a BPF ELF file such that arbitrary BPF instructions are loaded by libbpf. This can be done by setting a symbol (BPF program) section offset to a large (unsigned) number such that

overflows and points before the section data in the memory. Consider the situation below where: - prog_start = sec_start + symbol_offset <-- size_t overflow here - prog_end = prog_start + prog_size prog_start sec_start prog_end sec_end | | | | v v v v .....................|################################|............ The report in [1] also provides a corrupted BPF ELF which can be used as a reproducer: $ readelf -S crash Section Headers: [Nr] Name Type Address Offset Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align ...

Add a check for detecting the overflow of `sec_off + prog_sz` to bpf_object__init_prog to fix this issue.

libbpf: Fix out-of-bound read

2025-06-04T12:40:11+00:00

[ Upstream commit 236d3910117e9f97ebf75e511d8bcc950f1a4e5f ] In `set_kcfg_value_str`, an untrusted string is accessed with the assumption that it will be at least two characters long due to the presence of checks for opening and closing quotes. But the check for the closing quote (value[len - 1] != '"') misses the fact that it could be checking the opening quote itself in case of an invalid input that consists of just the opening quote. This commit adds an explicit check to make sure the string is at least two characters long.

libbpf: never interpret subprogs in .text as entry programs

2024-12-14T18:53:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit db089c9158c1d535a36dfc010e5db37fccea2561 ] Libbpf pre-1.0 had a legacy logic of allowing singular non-annotated (i.e., not having explicit SEC() annotation) function to be treated as sole entry BPF program (unless there were other explicit entry programs). This behavior was dropped during libbpf 1.0 transition period (unless LIBBPF_STRICT_SEC_NAME flag was unset in libbpf_mode). When 1.0 was released and all the legacy behavior was removed, the bug slipped through leaving this legacy behavior around. Fix this for good, as it actually causes very confusing behavior if BPF object file only has subprograms, but no entry programs.

libbpf: fix sym_is_subprog() logic for weak global subprogs

2024-12-14T18:53:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4073213488be542f563eb4b2457ab4cbcfc2b738 ] sym_is_subprog() is incorrectly rejecting relocations against *weak* global subprogs. Fix that by realizing that STB_WEAK is also a global function. While it seems like verifier doesn't support taking an address of non-static subprog right now, it's still best to fix support for it on libbpf side, otherwise users will get a very confusing error during BPF skeleton generation or static linking due to misinterpreted relocation: libbpf: prog 'handle_tp': bad map relo against 'foo' in section '.text' Error: failed to open BPF object file: Relocation failed It's clearly not a map relocation, but is treated and reported as such without this fix.

libbpf: Add NULL checks to bpf_object__{prev_map,next_map}

2024-09-12T09:10:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit cedc12c5b57f7efa6dbebfb2b140e8675f5a2616 ] In the current state, an erroneous call to bpf_object__find_map_by_name(NULL, ...) leads to a segmentation fault through the following call chain: bpf_object__find_map_by_name(obj = NULL, ...) -> bpf_object__for_each_map(pos, obj = NULL) -> bpf_object__next_map((obj = NULL), NULL) -> return (obj = NULL)->maps While calling bpf_object__find_map_by_name with obj = NULL is obviously incorrect, this should not lead to a segmentation fault but rather be handled gracefully. As __bpf_map__iter already handles this situation correctly, we can delegate the check for the regular case there and only add a check in case the prev or next parameter is NULL.

libbpf: Free btf_vmlinux when closing bpf_object

2023-09-23T09:11:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit 29d67fdebc42af6466d1909c60fdd1ef4f3e5240 ] I hit a memory leak when testing bpf_program__set_attach_target(). Basically, set_attach_target() may allocate btf_vmlinux, for example, when setting attach target for bpf_iter programs. But btf_vmlinux is freed only in bpf_object_load(), which means if we only open bpf object but not load it, setting attach target may leak btf_vmlinux. So let's free btf_vmlinux in bpf_object__close() anyway.
