Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Fix potential integer overflow in resolve_btfids
Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 09:09:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240514070931.199694-1-friedrich.vock@gmx.de> (raw)
err is a 32-bit integer, but elf_update returns an off_t, which is
64-bit at least on 64-bit platforms. If symbols_patch is called on a
binary between 2-4GB in size, the result will be negative when cast to
a 32-bit integer, which the code assumes means an error occurred. This
can wrongly trigger build failures when building very large kernel
images.
Signed-off-by: Friedrich Vock <friedrich.vock@gmx.de>
Fixes: fbbb68de80a4 ("bpf: Add resolve_btfids tool to resolve BTF IDs in ELF object")
