Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
bpf: fix end-of-list detection in cgroup_storage_get_next_key()<br />
<br />
list_next_entry() never returns NULL -- when the current element is the<br />
last entry it wraps to the list head via container_of(). The subsequent<br />
NULL check is therefore dead code and get_next_key() never returns<br />
-ENOENT for the last element, instead reading storage->key from a bogus<br />
pointer that aliases internal map fields and copying the result to<br />
userspace.<br />
<br />
Replace it with list_entry_is_head() so the function correctly returns<br />
-ENOENT when there are no more entries.
