[PATCH bpf-next v2] libbpf: Fix program log buffer size validation
Posted by Luis Vieira 1 week, 2 days ago 
bpf_program__set_log_buf() checks the existing prog->log_size instead
of the incoming log_size argument when enforcing the UINT_MAX limit.
As a result, an oversized value can be accepted.

The setter also accepts a non-NULL log_buf with a zero log_size, while
bpf_prog_load() rejects mismatched log buffer and size values.

Validate the log buffer and size pair consistently with bpf_prog_load(),
and check the supplied log_size against UINT_MAX.

Changes in v2:
- Target bpf-next instead of bpf and drop the Fixes tag.
- Drop the regression selftest.
- Validate log_buf and log_size consistently with bpf_prog_load().
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260914-libbpf-log-buf-fix-v1-1-f592caffcc71@gmail.com
