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. general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xfbd59c0000000024: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead000000000120-0xdead000000000127] CPU: 0
