From df09162550fbb53354f0c88e85b5d0e6129ee9cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Wright Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 16:34:59 -0700 Subject: tracing: t_start: reset FTRACE_ITER_HASH in case of seek/pread Be sure to avoid entering t_show() with FTRACE_ITER_HASH set without having properly started the iterator to iterate the hash. This case is degenerate and, as discovered by Robert Swiecki, can cause t_hash_show() to misuse a pointer. This causes a NULL ptr deref with possible security implications. Tracked as CVE-2010-3079.
