In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<\/p>\n
tracing: Free histogram the var ref when its initialization fails<\/p>\n
create_var_ref() allocates a VAR_REF hist_field and then calls
\ninit_var_ref() to fill it in. When that fails the field is leaked.<\/p>\n
commit 656fe2ba85e8 (“tracing: Use hist trigger’s var_ref array to destroy
\nvar_refs”) made destroy_hist_field() return early for
\nHIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, since var refs are freed by walking the trigger’s
\nvar_refs[] array instead. create_var_ref() adds the field to that array
\nonly after init_var_ref() has succeeded, so on this path the field is in
\nneither place and nothing frees it. The call was correct when it was
\nwritten, before var refs were taken out of destroy_hist_field().<\/p>\n
init_var_ref() cannot free it either. The caller owns the field, so
\ninit_var_ref() undoes only its own string allocations and leaves the
\nfield alone. Freeing it there would leave create_var_ref() passing freed
\nmemory to destroy_hist_field(), which reads its flags.<\/p>\n
Call __destroy_hist_field(), which frees the field without consulting
\nthe flag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
