Title
bpf: Fix exclusive map memory leak
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix exclusive map memory leak
When excl_prog_hash is 0 and excl_prog_hash_size is non-zero, the map also
needs to be freed. Otherwise, the map memory will not be reclaimed, just
like the memory leak problem reported by syzbot [1].
syzbot reported:
BUG: memory leak
backtrace (crc 7b9fb9b4):
map_create+0x322/0x11e0 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:1512
__sys_bpf+0x3556/0x3610 kernel/bpf/syscall.c:6131
Severity ?
