This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled bpf: fix panic in SO_GET_FILTER with native ebpf programs to the 4.2-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-fix-panic-in-so_get_filter-with-native-ebpf-programs.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Oct 22 17:25:24 PDT 2015 From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2015 12:06:03 +0200 Subject: bpf: fix panic in SO_GET_FILTER with native ebpf programs From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 93d08b6966cf730ea669d4d98f43627597077153 ] When sockets have a native eBPF program attached through setsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, ...), and then try to dump these over getsockopt(sk, SOL_SOCKET, SO_GET_FILTER, ...), the following panic appears: [49904.178642] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) [49904.178762] IP: [<ffffffff81610fd9>] sk_get_filter+0x39/0x90 [49904.182000] PGD 86fc9067 PUD 531a1067 PMD 0 [49904.185196] Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] [49904.224677] Call Trace: [49904.226090] [<ffffffff815e3d49>] sock_getsockopt+0x319/0x740 [49904.227535] [<ffffffff812f59e3>] ? sock_has_perm+0x63/0x70 [49904.228953] [<ffffffff815e2fc8>] ? release_sock+0x108/0x150 [49904.230380] [<ffffffff812f5a43>] ? selinux_socket_getsockopt+0x23/0x30 [49904.231788] [<ffffffff815dff36>] SyS_getsockopt+0xa6/0xc0 [49904.233267] [<ffffffff8171b9ae>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x71 The underlying issue is the very same as in commit b382c0865600 ("sock, diag: fix panic in sock_diag_put_filterinfo"), that is, native eBPF programs don't store an original program since this is only needed in cBPF ones. However, sk_get_filter() wasn't updated to test for this at the time when eBPF could be attached. Just throw an error to the user to indicate that eBPF cannot be dumped over this interface. That way, it can also be known that a program _is_ attached (as opposed to just return 0), and a different (future) method needs to be consulted for a dump.
