Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf: Reject sleepable kprobe_multi programs at attach time<br />
<br />
kprobe.multi programs run in atomic/RCU context and cannot sleep.<br />
However, bpf_kprobe_multi_link_attach() did not validate whether the<br />
program being attached had the sleepable flag set, allowing sleepable<br />
helpers such as bpf_copy_from_user() to be invoked from a non-sleepable<br />
context.<br />
<br />
This causes a "sleeping function called from invalid context" splat:<br />
<br />
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at ./include/linux/uaccess.h:169<br />
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 1787, name: sudo<br />
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0<br />
RCU nest depth: 2, expected: 0<br />
<br />
Fix this by rejecting sleepable programs early in<br />
bpf_kprobe_multi_link_attach(), before any further processing.
