"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ntracing: Fix union collision of module and refcnt for dynamic events\n\nIn 'struct trace_event_call', the 'module' pointer and the 'refcnt'\natomic variable share the same memory space in a union. For dynamic\nevents, the union member is 'refcnt', which acts as an active\nreference counter.\n\nWhen a dynamic event (such as kprobe, uprobe, fprobe, eprobe, or\nwprobe) has a non-zero reference count (e.g. due to active event\ntriggers or perf attachments), its 'call->module' evaluates to a\nsmall non-zero integer instead of NULL.\n\nWhen filtering or setting events for a specific module (e.g., writing\n':mod:<module>' to 'set_event'), the code in\n'__ftrace_set_clr_event_nolock()' and 'update_event_fields()' reads\n'call->module' directly without checking whether the event is dynamic.\nThis causes the kernel to treat the small integer (refcnt) as a\n'struct module' pointer, leading to a NULL/invalid pointer dereference\n(Oops) when dereferencing the module name.\n\nFix this by ensuring that the 'TRACE_EVENT_FL_DYNAMIC' flag is checked\nbefore treating 'call->module' as a valid pointer in these code paths."
