CVE-2022-49840 — bpf, test_run: Fix alignment problem in bpf_prog_test_run_skb()

Affected: Linux

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

bpf, test_run: Fix alignment problem in bpf_prog_test_run_skb()

We got a syzkaller problem because of aarch64 alignment fault if KFENCE enabled. When the size from user bpf program is an odd number, like 399, 407, etc, it will cause the struct skb_shared_info's unaligned access. As seen below:
