Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
tracing: Check return value of __register_event() in trace_module_add_events()<br />
<br />
trace_module_add_events() ignores the return value of __register_event()<br />
and unconditionally calls __add_event_to_tracers() for each event.<br />
<br />
If __register_event() fails (for example, if event_init() fails), the<br />
trace_event_call is not added to ftrace_events list, but<br />
__add_event_to_tracers() still creates a trace_event_file pointing to it.<br />
If module loading subsequently fails and module memory is freed, tracing<br />
state retains a stale trace_event_call pointer in trace_event_file,<br />
leading to a use-after-free when tracefs or tracing subsystem operations<br />
are later executed.<br />
<br />
Fix this by checking the return value of __register_event() and only<br />
calling __add_event_to_tracers() if event registration succeeded.
