Description

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

bpf: Check the remaining info_cnt before repeating btf fields

When trying to repeat the btf fields for array of nested struct, it doesn't check the remaining info_cnt. The following splat will be reported when the value of ret * nelems is greater than BTF_FIELDS_MAX:

------------[ cut here ]------------ UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in ../kernel/bpf/btf.c:3951:49 index 11 is out of range for type 'btf_field_info [11]' CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 411 Comm: test_progs ...... 6.11.0-rc4+ #1 Tainted: [O]=OOT_MODULE Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS ...

Fix it by checking the remaining info_cnt in btf_repeat_fields() before repeating the btf fields.
