[ Upstream commit4a6998aff8] Wenwen Wang reported: In btf_parse(), the header of the user-space btf data 'btf_data' is firstly parsed and verified through btf_parse_hdr(). In btf_parse_hdr(), the header is copied from user-space 'btf_data' to kernel-space 'btf->hdr' and then verified. If no error happens during the verification process, the whole data of 'btf_data', including the header, is then copied to 'data' in btf_parse(). It is obvious that the header is copied twice here. More importantly, no check is enforced after the second copy to make sure the headers obtained in these two copies are same. Given that 'btf_data' resides in the user space, a malicious user can race to modify the header between these two copies. By doing so, the user can inject inconsistent data, which can cause undefined behavior of the kernel and introduce potential security risk. This issue is similar to the one fixed in commit8af03d1ae2("bpf: btf: Fix a missing check bug"). To fix it, this patch copies the user 'btf_data' *before* parsing / verifying the BTF header.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
