Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 08/13] ftrace: Fix null pointer dereference in ftrace_add_mod()
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2022 15:07:08 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221120200734.707886372@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20221120200700.725968899@goodmis.org

From: Xiu Jianfeng <xiujianfeng@huawei.com>

The @ftrace_mod is allocated by kzalloc(), so both the members {prev,next}
of @ftrace_mode->list are NULL, it's not a valid state to call list_del().
If kstrdup() for @ftrace_mod->{func|module} fails, it goes to @out_free
tag and calls free_ftrace_mod() to destroy @ftrace_mod, then list_del()
will write prev->next and next->prev, where null pointer dereference
happens.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
Call Trace:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

So call INIT_LIST_HEAD() to initialize the list member to fix this issue.
