In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix end-of-list detection in cgroup_storage_get_next_key()
list_next_entry() never returns NULL -- when the current element is the
last entry it wraps to the list head via container_of(). The subsequent
NULL check is therefore dead code and get_next_key() never returns
-ENOENT for the last element, instead reading storage->key from a bogus
pointer that aliases internal map fields and copying the result to
userspace.
Replace it with list_entry_is_head() so the function correctly returns
-ENOENT when there are no more entries.
