Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: libbpf versions 0.6.0 through 0.6.1

Description: The issue is a heap-based buffer overflow of 8 bytes in the bpf object open function, which is called from bpf object open mem and bpf-object-fuzzer.c.

Recommendations: For libbpf versions 0.6.0 and 0.6.1, consider restricting access to the bpf object open function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the bpf object open mem and bpf-object-fuzzer.c functions that call bpf object open until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
