[RFC tracing 1/4] tracing: predicate matching trigger crashes for > 8-byte arrays

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The following (wrong) use of tracepoint filtering was enough to trigger
a null-pointer dereference crash:

	cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
	echo "saddr_v6 == 0x0100007f" > tcp/tcp_receive_reset/filter
	echo 1 > tcp/tcp_receive_reset/enable
	wget https://localhost

This works fine if saddr - a 4-byte array representing the source address -
is used instead.

Fix is to handle case where we encounter an unexpected size.
