Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() should always initialize iterator
BPF programs may call next() and destroy() on BPF iterators even after new()
returns an error value (e.g. bpf_for_each() macro ignores error returns from
new()). bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() could leave the iterator in an uninitialized
state after an error return causing bpf_iter_scx_dsq_next() to dereference
garbage data. Make bpf_iter_scx_dsq_new() always clear $kit->dsq so that
next() and destroy() become noops.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.12 < 6.12.30)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.14.8)
• linux linux kernel 6.15
