[PATCH bpf] bpftool: Fix NULL pointer dereference when pin {PROG, MAP, LINK} without FILE
Posted by Pu Lehui 3 years, 5 months ago
From: Pu Lehui <pulehui@huawei.com>

When using bpftool to pin {PROG, MAP, LINK} without FILE,
segmentation fault will occur. The reson is that the lack
of FILE will cause strlen to trigger NULL pointer dereference.
The corresponding stacktrace is shown below:

do_pin
  do_pin_any
    do_pin_fd
      mount_bpffs_for_pin
        strlen(name) <- NULL pointer dereference

Fix it by adding validation to the common process.

Fixes: 75a1e792c335 ("tools: bpftool: Allow all prog/map handles for pinning objects")
