Subject: [PATCH bpf v3] bpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_sk_storage_clone and diag paths
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 23:54:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260422065411.1007737-2-bestswngs@gmail.com> (raw)
bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() sets SDATA(selem)->smap to NULL before
removing the selem from the storage hlist. A concurrent RCU reader in
bpf_sk_storage_clone() can observe the selem still on the list with
smap already NULL, causing a NULL pointer dereference.
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc000000000a:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000050-0x0000000000000057]

Add a NULL check for smap in bpf_sk_storage_clone().
bpf_sk_storage_diag_put_all() and bpf_sk_storage_diag_put() have the
same unprotected dereference pattern, add NULL checks there as well and
pass the validated smap to diag_get() so it no longer performs its own
rcu_dereference.
Fixes: 5d800f87d0a5 ("bpf: Support lockless unlink when freeing map or local storage")

v3:
pass smap to diag_get()
v2:
drop the NULL check in diag_get(); The caller already checks smap for
NULL.
