commit dc432c3d7f9bceb3de6f5b44fb9c657c9810ed6d upstream. The regex match function regex_match_front() in the tracing filter logic, was fixed to test just the pattern length from testing the entire test string. That is, it went from strncmp(str, r->pattern, len) to strcmp(str, r->pattern, r->len). The issue is that str is not guaranteed to be nul terminated, and if r->len is greater than the length of str, it can access more memory than is allocated. The solution is to add a simple test if (len < r->len) return 0.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
