Descriptions
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.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: rastreo/sondas: Se corrige el manejo del límite MAX_TRACE_ARGS Al crear un trace_probe, estableceríamos nr_args antes de truncar los argumentos a MAX_TRACE_ARGS. Sin embargo, solo inicializaríamos los argumentos hasta el límite. Esto causaba un acceso no válido a la memoria al intentar configurar sondas con más de 128 fetchargs. ERROR: desreferencia de puntero NULL del kernel, dirección: 0000000000000020 #PF: acceso de lectura del supervisor en modo kernel #PF: error_code(0x0000) - página no presente PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1769 Comm: cat No contaminado 6.11.0-rc7+ #8 Nombre del hardware: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.3-1.fc39 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:__set_print_fmt+0x134/0x330 Resuelva el problema aplicando el límite MAX_TRACE_ARGS anteriormente. Devuelva un error cuando haya demasiados argumentos en lugar de truncarlos silenciosamente.

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
