In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: crypto: Use the correct destructor kfunc type
With CONFIG_CFI enabled, the kernel strictly enforces that indirect
function calls use a function pointer type that matches the target
function. I ran into the following type mismatch when running BPF
self-tests:
CFI failure at bpf_obj_free_fields+0x190/0x238 (target:
bpf_crypto_ctx_release+0x0/0x94; expected type: 0xa488ebfc)
Internal error: Oops - CFI: 00000000f2008228 [#1] SMP
...
As bpf_crypto_ctx_release() is also used in BPF programs and using
a void pointer as the argument would make the verifier unhappy, add
a simple stub function with the correct type and register it as the
destructor kfunc instead.
