Added Description

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

bpf: Fix NULL deref in map_kptr_match_type for scalar regs

Commit ab6c637ad027 ("bpf: Fix a bpf_kptr_xchg() issue with local
kptr") refactored map_kptr_match_type() to branch on btf_is_kernel()
before checking base_type(). A scalar register stored into a kptr
slot has no btf, so the btf_is_kernel(reg->btf) call dereferences
NULL.

Move the base_type() != PTR_TO_BTF_ID guard before any reg->btf
access.
