CWE-476
NULL Pointer Dereference

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
SUNRPC: Fix the svc_deferred_event trace class<br />
<br />
Fix a NULL deref crash that occurs when an svc_rqst is deferred<br />
while the sunrpc tracing subsystem is enabled. svc_revisit() sets<br />
dr->xprt to NULL, so it can&#39;t be relied upon in the tracepoint to<br />
provide the remote&#39;s address.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately we can&#39;t revert the "svc_deferred_class" hunk in<br />
commit ece200ddd54b ("sunrpc: Save remote presentation address in<br />
svc_xprt for trace events") because there is now a specific check<br />
of event format specifiers for unsafe dereferences. The warning<br />
that check emits is:<br />
<br />
event svc_defer_recv has unsafe dereference of argument 1<br />
<br />
A "%pISpc" format specifier with a "struct sockaddr *" is indeed<br />
flagged by this check.<br />
<br />
Instead, take the brute-force approach used by the svcrdma_qp_error<br />
tracepoint. Convert the dr::addr field into a presentation address<br />
in the TP_fast_assign() arm of the trace event, and store that as<br />
a string. This fix can be backported to -stable kernels.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, commit c6ced22997ad ("tracing: Update print fmt<br />
check to handle new __get_sockaddr() macro") is now in v5.18, so<br />
this wonky fix can be replaced with __sockaddr() and friends<br />
properly during the v5.19 merge window.
