Viktor Malik 9d57de88d9 libbpf: Fix buffer overflow in bpf_object__init_prog 
[ Upstream commit ee684de5c1 ]

As shown in [1], it is possible to corrupt a BPF ELF file such that
arbitrary BPF instructions are loaded by libbpf. This can be done by
setting a symbol (BPF program) section offset to a large (unsigned)
number such that <section start + symbol offset> overflows and points
before the section data in the memory.

Consider the situation below where:
- prog_start = sec_start + symbol_offset    <-- size_t overflow here
- prog_end   = prog_start + prog_size

    prog_start        sec_start        prog_end        sec_end
        |                |                 |              |
        v                v                 v              v
    .....................|################################|............

The report in [1] also provides a corrupted BPF ELF which can be used as
a reproducer:

    $ readelf -S crash

    $ readelf -s crash
    Symbol table '.symtab' contains 8 entries:

    ...
         6: ffffffffffffffb8   104 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    2 handle_tp

Here, the handle_tp prog has section offset ffffffffffffffb8, i.e. will
point before the actual memory where section 2 is allocated.

This is also reported by AddressSanitizer:

        #3 0x00000040642f in elf_sec_data /src/libbpf/src/libbpf.c:3740

The problem here is that currently, libbpf only checks that the program
end is within the section bounds. There used to be a check
`while (sec_off < sec_sz)` in bpf_object__add_programs, however, it was
removed by commit 6245947c1b ("libbpf: Allow gaps in BPF program
sections to support overriden weak functions").

Add a check for detecting the overflow of `sec_off + prog_sz` to
bpf_object__init_prog to fix this issue.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
