Subject: [PATCH 4/6] dtprobed: harden helper ioctl validation
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 16:22:12 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3d00e8f823076a7190b21c2167fac9ab@oracle.com> (raw)
Reject unterminated fixed-size module names and module names that would
be unsafe as pathname components before using helper data. Reuse the same
component-safety predicate used when composing probe specs, and handle
userdata allocation failure before dereferencing it.
Orabug: 39374493
