In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix divide-by-zero in btf_struct_walk()
When an access goes past the struct and the last member is a flexible
array, btf_struct_walk() folds the offset back into a single element with
(off – moff) % t->size, but never checks that the element type has a size.
BTF takes an empty struct, so this in program BTF
/* event could be empty */
struct event {
#ifdef HAVE_TIMESTAMP
__u64 ts;
#endif
};
struct batch {
int nr;
struct event events[];
};
divides by zero at prog load time. Getting there needs a PTR_TO_BTF_ID that
is not MEM_ALLOC, e.g. a plain read of a local kptr stashed in a map from a
sleepable program.
Oops: divide error: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI

Reject a zero-sized element type. The fixed array path in the same function
already bails out on the same thing:
btf_struct_walk()
…
/* skip empty array */
if (moff == mtrue_end)
continue;
msize /= total_nelems;
