CVE-2023-53133

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf, sockmap: Fix an infinite loop error when len is 0 in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser()

When the buffer length of the recvmsg system call is 0, we got the flollowing soft lockup problem:

The logic in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser is as follows:

msg_bytes_ready: copied = sk_msg_recvmsg(sk, psock, msg, len, flags); if (!copied) { wait data; goto msg_bytes_ready; }

In this case, copied always is 0, the infinite loop occurs.

According to the Linux system call man page, 0 should be returned in this case. Therefore, in tcp_bpf_recvmsg_parser(), if the length is 0, directly return. Also modify several other functions with the same problem.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
