Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> bpf, sockmap: Fix an infinite loop error when len is 0 in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()<br /> <br /> When the buffer length of the recvmsg system call is 0, we got the<br /> flollowing soft lockup problem:<br /> <br /> watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 27s!

Therefore, in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser(), if the length is 0, directly<br /> return. Also modify several other functions with the same problem.
