bpftool: Fix memory leak in dump_xx_nlmsg on realloc failure

2025-08-28T14:21:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit 99fe8af069a9fa5b09140518b1364e35713a642e ] In function dump_xx_nlmsg(), when realloc() fails to allocate memory, the original pointer to the buffer is overwritten with NULL. This causes a memory leak because the previously allocated buffer becomes unreachable without being freed.

bpftool: Fix readlink usage in get_fd_type

2025-06-04T12:32:34+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0053f7d39d491b6138d7c526876d13885cbb65f1 ] The `readlink(path, buf, sizeof(buf))` call reads at most sizeof(buf) bytes and *does not* append null-terminator to buf. With respect to that, fix two pieces in get_fd_type: 1. Change the truncation check to contain sizeof(buf) rather than sizeof(path). 2. Append null-terminator to buf. Reported by Coverity.

bpftool: Fix bug for long instructions in program CFG dumps

2023-05-17T09:35:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit 67cf52cdb6c8fa6365d29106555dacf95c9fd374 ] When dumping the control flow graphs for programs using the 16-byte long load instruction, we need to skip the second part of this instruction when looking for the next instruction to process. Otherwise, we end up printing "BUG_ld_00" from the kernel disassembler in the CFG.

tools: bpftool: Remove invalid \' json escape

2023-05-17T09:35:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit c679bbd611c08b0559ffae079330bc4e5574696a ] RFC8259 ("The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format") only specifies \", \\, \/, \b, \f, \n, \r, and \r as valid two-character escape sequences. This does not include \', which is not required in JSON because it exclusively uses double quotes as string separators. Solidus (/) may be escaped, but does not have to. Only reverse solidus (\), double quotes ("), and the control characters have to be escaped. Therefore, with this fix, bpftool correctly supports all valid two-character escape sequences (but still does not support characters that require multi-character escape sequences). Witout this fix, attempting to load a JSON file generated by bpftool using Python 3.10.6's default json.load() may fail with the error "Invalid \escape" if the file contains the invalid escaped single quote (\').

bpftool: Clear errno after libcap's checks

2022-10-26T11:22:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit cea558855c39b7f1f02ff50dcf701ca6596bc964 ] When bpftool is linked against libcap, the library runs a "constructor" function to compute the number of capabilities of the running kernel [0], at the beginning of the execution of the program. As part of this, it performs multiple calls to prctl(). Some of these may fail, and set errno to a non-zero value: # strace -e prctl ./bpftool version prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE) = 1 prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x30 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, CAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE) = 1 prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x2c /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x2a /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) prctl(PR_CAPBSET_READ, 0x29 /* CAP_??? */) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) ** fprintf added at the top of main(): we have errno == 1 ./bpftool v7.0.0 using libbpf v1.0 features: libbfd, libbpf_strict, skeletons +++ exited with 0 +++ This has been addressed in libcap 2.63 [1], but until this version is available everywhere, we can fix it on bpftool side. Let's clean errno at the beginning of the main() function, to make sure that these checks do not interfere with the batch mode, where we error out if errno is set after a bpftool command.
