This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Consider the NULL character when validating the event length to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-consider-the-null-character-when-validating-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d5d8282bda704828e742c40b498866fdba85ffe6 Author: Leo Yan <leo.yan@xxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 7 15:47:24 2024 +0100 tracing: Consider the NULL character when validating the event length [ Upstream commit 0b6e2e22cb23105fcb171ab92f0f7516c69c8471 ] strlen() returns a string length excluding the null byte. If the string length equals to the maximum buffer length, the buffer will have no space for the NULL terminating character. This commit checks this condition and returns failure for it.
