bpf_prog_aux->func field might be NULL if program does not have subprograms except for main sub-program. The fixed commit does bpf_prog_aux->func access unconditionally, which might lead to null pointer dereference. The bug could be triggered by replacing the following BPF program: SEC("tc") int main_changes(struct __sk_buff *sk) { bpf_skb_pull_data(sk, 0); return 0; } With the following BPF program: SEC("freplace") long changes_pkt_data(struct __sk_buff *sk) { return bpf_skb_pull_data(sk, 0); } bpf_prog_aux instance itself represents the main sub-program, use this property to fix the bug.
