linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix wild-memory-access in register_synth_event()
In register_synth_event(), if set_synth_event_print_fmt() failed, then
both trace_remove_event_call() and unregister_trace_event() will be
called, which means the trace_event_call will call
__unregister_trace_event() twice. As the result, the second unregister
will causes the wild-memory-access.
register_synth_event
set_synth_event_print_fmt failed
trace_remove_event_call
event_remove
if call->event.funcs then
__unregister_trace_event (first call)
unregister_trace_event
__unregister_trace_event (second call)
Fix the bug by avoiding to call the second __unregister_trace_event() by
checking if the first one is called.
