This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: Check validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo() to the 6.11-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: bpf-check-validity-of-link-type-in-bpf_link_show_fdi.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.11 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4a9ec83a28aa89ec4299fc8cdbd37ee01cb6353c Author: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Oct 24 09:35:58 2024 +0800 bpf: Check validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo() [ Upstream commit 8421d4c8762bd022cb491f2f0f7019ef51b4f0a7 ] If a newly-added link type doesn't invoke BPF_LINK_TYPE(), accessing bpf_link_type_strs[link->type] may result in an out-of-bounds access. To spot such missed invocations early in the future, checking the validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo() and emitting a warning when such invocations are missed.
