NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf: Fix re-attachment branch in bpf_tracing_prog_attach<br />
<br />
The following case can cause a crash due to missing attach_btf:<br />
<br />
1) load rawtp program<br />
2) load fentry program with rawtp as target_fd<br />
3) create tracing link for fentry program with target_fd = 0<br />
4) repeat 3<br />
<br />
In the end we have:<br />
<br />
- prog->aux->dst_trampoline == NULL<br />
- tgt_prog == NULL (because we did not provide target_fd to link_create)<br />
- prog->aux->attach_btf == NULL (the program was loaded with attach_prog_fd=X)<br />
- the program was loaded for tgt_prog but we have no way to find out which one<br />
<br />
