As reported by Dan Carpenter, the following statements in inline_bpf_loop() might cause to the use after free bug: struct bpf_prog *new_prog; // ... new_prog = bpf_patch_insn_data(env, position, insn_buf, *cnt); // ... env->prog->insnsi[call_insn_offset].imm = callback_offset; The bpf_patch_insn_data() might free the memory used by env->prog.
