[PATCH bpf v1] bpf: Fix OOB in bpf_obj_memcpy for cgroup storage

From: xulang

Date: Thu Mar 12 2026 - 01:26:00 EST


From: Lang Xu <xulang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

An out-of-bounds read occurs when copying element from a
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE map to another map type with the same
value_size that is not 8-byte aligned.

The issue happens when:
1. A CGROUP_STORAGE map is created with value_size not aligned to
8 bytes (e.g., 4 bytes)
2. A HASH map is created with the same value_size (e.g., 4 bytes)
3. Update element in 2 with data in 1

In the kernel, map elements are typically aligned to 8 bytes. However,
bpf_cgroup_storage_calculate_size() allocates storage based on the exact
value_size without alignment. When copy_map_value_long() is called, it
assumes all map values are 8-byte aligned and rounds up the copy size,
leading to a 4-byte out-of-bounds read from the cgroup storage buffer.

This patch fixes the issue by ensuring cgroup storage allocates 8-byte
aligned buffers, matching the assumptions in copy_map_value_long().
