In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: Fix MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit handling
When creating a trace_probe we would set nr_args prior to truncating the
arguments to MAX_TRACE_ARGS. However, we would only initialize arguments
up to the limit.
This caused invalid memory access when attempting to set up probes with
more than 128 fetchargs.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000020
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode
#PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page
PGD 0 P4D 0
Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1769 Comm: cat Not tainted 6.11.0-rc7+ #8
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-1.fc39 04/01/2014
RIP: 0010:__set_print_fmt+0x134/0x330
Resolve the issue by applying the MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit earlier. Return
an error when there are too many arguments instead of silently
truncating.
