Description

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Linux Kernel. Affected is the function btf_dump_name_dups of the file tools/lib/bpf/btf_dump.c of the component libbpf. The manipulation leads to use after free. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-211032.
A use-after-free flaw was found in btf_dump_name_dups in tools/lib/bpf/btf_dump.c in libbpf in the Linux Kernel. This issue occurs because the key stored in the hash table name_map is a string address, and the string memory is allocated by realloc() function. When the memory is resized by realloc() later, the old memory may be freed.
