Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix array bounds error with may_goto
may_goto uses an additional 8 bytes on the stack, which causes the
interpreters[] array to go out of bounds when calculating index by
stack_size.
1. If a BPF program is rewritten, re-evaluate the stack size. For non-JIT
cases, reject loading directly.
2. For non-JIT cases, calculating interpreters[idx] may still cause
out-of-bounds array access, and just warn about it.
3. For jit_requested cases, the execution of bpf_func also needs to be
warned. So move the definition of function __bpf_prog_ret0_warn out of
the macro definition CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON.
