Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-21 12:31 – Updated: 2024-06-24 21:33

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()

btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the error up the stack.

Severity ?

5.5 (Medium)
