Subject: [PATCH v4 05/15] tracing/filters: Check for missing operand after operator in parse_pred()
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 10:38:11 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <179323789181.740114.16161070743864669086.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <179323784538.740114.15323117974242744566.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
In parse_pred(), after matching the operator and skipping whitespace,
the filter string may terminate (str[i] == '\0') if the operand is
missing (e.g. "ip ==" or "common_pid ==").
For function events, the loop 'for (i++; str[i]; i++)' unconditionally
increments 'i' past the NUL terminator, causing an out-of-bounds read.
For other event types, allocating a predicate only to fail later during
value parsing is wasteful.
Check if 'str[i]' is NUL immediately after skipping whitespace after
the operator, and report FILT_ERR_INVALID_FILTER.
Fixes: 80765597bc58 ("tracing: Rewrite filter logic to be simpler and faster")

Changes in v3:
- Split from the monolithic function event parsing patch.
- Check if str[i] is NUL immediately after skipping whitespace after
the operator in parse_pred() across all event types, as suggested
by Steven Rostedt.
