In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix NULL-ptr-deref when showing a void BTF type
btf_modifier_show() resolves the modifier and then calls
btf_type_ops(t)->show() unconditionally. For the void type (type_id 0,
BTF_KIND_UNKN) kind_ops[] has no entry, so ->show is NULL.
A "const void" (a modifier resolving to void) cannot be a map key or
value - map_check_btf() rejects it because void has no size - so the map
dump path does not reach it. But bpf_snprintf_btf() takes a type_id
straight from the BPF program, and passing such a "const void" from the
vmlinux BTF NULL-derefs:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000028-0x000000000000002f]
RIP: 0010:btf_modifier_show (kernel/bpf/btf.c:2914)

Fall back to btf_df_show() when the resolved type has no show op; it
emits the "<unsupported kind:N>" placeholder already used for kinds like
FWD and FUNC. bpf_snprintf_btf() then returns the length as usual.
