The address being probed has some special:
cmdline_proc_show: Probe based on ftrace
cmdline_proc_show+16: Probe for the next instruction at the ftrace location
The ftrace-based kprobe does not generate kprobe::ainsn::insn, it gets
set to NULL. In arch_prepare_kprobe() it will check for:
...
prev = get_kprobe(p->addr - 1);
preempt_enable_no_resched();
if (prev && ppc_inst_prefixed(ppc_inst_read(prev->ainsn.insn))) {
...
If prev is based on ftrace, 'ppc_inst_read(prev->ainsn.insn)' will occur
with a null pointer reference. At this point prev->addr will not be a
prefixed instruction, so the check can be skipped.
Check if prev is ftrace-based kprobe before reading 'prev->ainsn.insn'
to fix this problem.
[mpe: Trim oops]
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel in arch_prepare_kprobe(): where certain error conditions are not properly validated before dereferencing a pointer. Under specific circumstances, this can result in a NULL pointer dereference in kernel space. If triggered, the kernel may generate an oops or panic, causing the system to become unstable or crash.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
