Subject: [PATCH] trace: Protect trace_iter_expand_format against overflow and ZERO_SIZE_PTR
Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 09:02:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250519070240.256200-1-rafalbilkowski@gmail.com> (raw)
Add a check in trace_iter_expand_format to prevent integer overflow when
calculating the new format buffer size, and to handle the case where krealloc
returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR. This improves robustness and prevents potential
memory corruption or kernel crashes.
