CVE-2024-50254
—In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Free dynamically allocated bits in bpf_iter_bits_destroy() bpf_iter_bits_destroy() uses "kit->nr_bits ] kmemleak_alloc+0x4b/0x80 [ ] __kmalloc_node_noprof+0x480/0x5c0 [ ] __alloc.isra.0+0x89/0xb0 [ ] alloc_bulk+0x2af/0x720 [ ] prefill_mem_cache+0x7f/0xb0 [ ] bpf_mem_alloc_init+0x3e2/0x610 [ ] bpf_global_ma_init+0x19/0x30 [ ] do_one_initcall+0xd3/0x3c0 [ ] kernel_init_freeable+0x66a/0x940 [ ] kernel_init+0x20/0x160 [ ] ret_from_fork+0x3c/0x70 [ ] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 That is because nr_bits will be set as zero in bpf_iter_bits_next() after all bits have been iterated. Fix the issue by setting kit->bit to kit->nr_bits instead of setting kit->nr_bits to zero when the iteration completes in bpf_iter_bits_next(). In addition, use "!nr_bits || bits >= nr_bits" to check whether the iteration is complete and still use "nr_bits > 64" to indicate whether bits are dynamically allocated. The "!nr_bits" check is necessary because bpf_iter_bits_new() may fail before setting kit->nr_bits, and this condition will stop the iteration early instead of accessing the zeroed or freed kit->bits. Considering the initial value of kit->bits is -1 and the type of kit->nr_bits is unsigned int, change the type of kit->nr_bits to int. The potential overflow problem will be handled in the following patch.
