[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Fix stack out-of-bounds write in cgroup link update

Message-ID <[email protected]>
The cgroup link update path checks only the program type, allowing a UDP6
sock_addr program to replace the program on a UDP4 link. Running the
replacement writes past the smaller IPv4 context into ipcm_cookie::opt on the
stack.

Require a replacement sock_addr program to have the same expected attach type
as the link before changing link state. Limit the check to sock_addr programs
so update policy for other cgroup program types remains unchanged.

Fixes: 0c991ebc8c69 ("bpf: Implement bpf_prog replacement for an active bpf_cgroup_link")
