Summary

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

bpf: Free dynamically allocated bits in bpf_iter_bits_destroy()

bpf_iter_bits_destroy() uses "kit->nr_bits <= 64" to check whether the
bits are dynamically allocated. However, the check is incorrect and may
cause a kmemleak as shown below:

unreferenced object 0xffff88812628c8c0 (size 32):
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294727320
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

That is because nr_bits will be set as zero in bpf_iter_bits_next()
after all bits have been iterated.

Fix the issue by setting kit->bit to kit->nr_bits instead of setting
kit->nr_bits to zero when the iteration completes in
bpf_iter_bits_next(). In addition, use "!nr_bits || bits >= nr_bits" to
check whether the iteration is complete and still use "nr_bits > 64" to
indicate whether bits are dynamically allocated. The "!nr_bits" check is
necessary because bpf_iter_bits_new() may fail before setting
kit->nr_bits, and this condition will stop the iteration early instead
of accessing the zeroed or freed kit->bits.

Considering the initial value of kit->bits is -1 and the type of
kit->nr_bits is unsigned int, change the type of kit->nr_bits to int.
The potential overflow problem will be handled in the following patch.
