"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag()\n\nfunc_set_flag() dereferences tr->current_trace_flags before verifying\nthat the current tracer is actually the function tracer. When the active\ntracer has been switched away from \"function\" (e.g., to \"wakeup_rt\"),\ntr->current_trace_flags can be NULL, leading to a NULL pointer\ndereference and kernel crash.\n\nThe call chain that triggers this is:\n\n trace_options_write()\n -> __set_tracer_option()\n -> trace->set_flag() /* func_set_flag */\n\nIn func_set_flag(), the first operation is:\n\n if (!!set == !!(tr->current_trace_flags->val & bit))\n\nThis dereferences tr->current_trace_flags unconditionally. The safety\ncheck that guards against a non-function tracer:\n\n if (tr->current_trace != &function_trace)\n return 0;\n\nis placed *after* the dereference, which is too late.\n\nThis was observed with the following crash dump:\n\n BUG: unable to handle page fault at 0000000000000000\n RIP: func_set_flag+0xd\n\n Call Trace:\n __set_tracer_option+0x27\n trace_options_write+0x75\n vfs_write+0x12a\n ksys_write+0x66\n do_syscall_64+0x5b\n\n RIP: ffffffff914c973d RSP: ff67ec88b01dfdf0 RFLAGS: 00010202\n RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ff3a826e80354580 RCX: 0000000000000001\n RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffffffff93918080\n\nThe disassembly confirms the fault:\n\n func_set_flag+0: mov 0x1f08(%rdi), %rax ; RAX = tr->current_trace_flags = NULL\n func_set_flag+13: mov (%rax), %eax ; page fault: dereference NULL\n\nAt the time of the crash:\n tr->current_trace_flags = 0x0 (NULL)\n tr->current_trace = wakeup_rt_tracer (not function_trace)\n\nThe scenario is that a process opens a function tracer option file (such\nas \"func_stack_trace\"), then the current tracer is switched to another\ntracer (e.g., \"wakeup_rt\"), which sets current_trace_flags to NULL. When\nthe process subsequently writes to the option file, func_set_flag() is\ninvoked and crashes on the NULL dereference.\n\nFix this by moving the current_trace check before the\ncurrent_trace_flags dereference, so that func_set_flag() returns early\nwhen the function tracer is not active."
