- Summary
- tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on trace_array in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on tracearray in kprobeeventgentest_exit()
When testgenkprobecmd() failed after kprobeeventgencmdend(), it will goto delete, which will call kprobeeventdelete() and release the corresponding resource. However, the tracearray in genkretprobetest will point to the invalid resource. Set genkretprobetest to NULL after called kprobeeventdelete() to prevent null-ptr-deref.
