Subject: [PATCH bpf] bpf: Skip unsettled links in link iterator
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 01:02:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914170206.170723-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)

bpf_link_prime() inserts a link into link_idr before anon_inode_getfile()
succeeds and before bpf_link_settle() publishes the ID in link->id.
bpf_link_by_id() treats such an ID-zero link as unsettled, but the link
iterator takes a reference without this check.

If anon_inode_getfile() then fails, the creator removes the ID and frees
its still-private link directly.  The iterator is left with a dangling
reference and its next bpf_link_put() accesses freed memory.

Treat ID-zero entries as transient in bpf_link_get_curr_or_next(), just as
bpf_link_by_id() does.

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in bpf_link_put
  Write of size 8 by task exp/384
