bpf: Fix crash due to incorrect copy_map_value

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)

The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.21% (FIRST EPSS).
Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
Fixed version: Linux Linux 719d1c2524c89ada78c4c9202641c1d9e942a322, a8abb0c3dc1e28454851a00f8b7333d9695d566c, eca9bd215d2233de79d930fa97aefbce03247a98.
Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 7.8, NVD 5.5.
Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 719d1c2524c89ada78c4c9202641c1d9e942a322, a8abb0c3dc1e28454851a00f8b7333d9695d566c, eca9bd215d2233de79d930fa97aefbce03247a98 or later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix crash due to incorrect copy_map_value When both bpf_spin_lock and bpf_timer are present in a BPF map value, copy_map_value needs to skirt both objects when copying a value into and out of the map. However, the current code does not set both s_off and t_off in copy_map_value, which leads to a crash when e.g. bpf_spin_lock is placed in map value with bpf_timer, as bpf_map_update_elem call will be able to overwrite the other timer object. When the issue is not fixed, an overwriting can produce the following splat: [root@(none) bpf]# ./test_progs -t timer_crash [ 15.930339] bpf_testmod: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
