No Score
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check the helper function is valid in get_helper_proto
kernel test robot reported verifier bug [1] where the helper func
pointer could be NULL due to disabled config option.
As Alexei suggested we could check on that in get_helper_proto
directly. Marking tail_call helper func with BPF_PTR_POISON,
because it is unused by design.
