- Summary
- tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on trace_event_file 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 traceeventfile in kprobeeventgentestexit()
When tracegeteventfile() failed, genkretprobetest will be assigned as the error code. If module kprobeeventgentest is removed now, the null pointer dereference will happen in kprobeeventgentestexit(). Check if genkprobetest or genkretprobetest is error code or NULL before dereference them.
