From 179a2a8a7b9a72093dd12059bb229cea9cd4080b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrii Nakryiko Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2023 19:41:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Fix realloc API handling in zero-sized edge cases [ Upstream commit 8a0260dbf6553c969248b6530cafadac46562f47 ] realloc() and reallocarray() can either return NULL or a special non-NULL pointer, if their size argument is zero. This requires a bit more care to handle NULL-as-valid-result situation differently from NULL-as-error case. This has caused real issues before ([0]), and just recently bit again in production when performing bpf_program__attach_usdt(). This patch fixes 4 places that do or potentially could suffer from this mishandling of NULL, including the reported USDT-related one. There are many other places where realloc()/reallocarray() is used and NULL is always treated as an error value, but all those have guarantees that their size is always non-zero, so those spot don't need any extra handling.
