Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject exclusive maps for bpf_map_elem iterators
Exclusive maps (aka excl_prog_hash) are meant to be reachable only
from the single program whose hash matches. This is enforced by
check_map_prog_compatibility() when the map is referenced from a
program such as signed BPF loaders.
A bpf_map_elem iterator, however, binds its target map at attach
time in bpf_iter_attach_map() instead of referencing it from the
program, so the exclusivity check is never reached. On top of that,
the iterator exposes the map value as a writable buffer.
