Subject: CVE-2023-52592: libbpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_object__collect_prog_relos

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

libbpf: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bpf_object__collect_prog_relos

An issue occurred while reading an ELF file in libbpf.c during fuzzing:

	Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
	0x0000000000958e97 in bpf_object.collect_prog_relos () at libbpf.c:4206

	(gdb)

scn_data was null at this code(tools/lib/bpf/src/libbpf.c):

	if (rel->r_offset % BPF_INSN_SZ || rel->r_offset >= scn_data->d_size) {

The scn_data is derived from the code above:

	scn = elf_sec_by_idx(obj, sec_idx);
	scn_data = elf_sec_data(obj, scn);

	relo_sec_name = elf_sec_str(obj, shdr->sh_name);
	sec_name = elf_sec_name(obj, scn);
	if (!relo_sec_name || !sec_name)// don't check whether scn_data is NULL
		return -EINVAL;

In certain special scenarios, such as reading a malformed ELF file,
it is possible that scn_data may be a null pointer

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2023-52592 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
