[PATCH 1/2] tracing/uprobe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in trace_uprobe_create()

From: Eiichi Tsukata
Date: Fri Jun 14 2019 - 03:45:45 EST


Just like the case of commit 8b05a3a7503c ("tracing/kprobes: Fix NULL
pointer dereference in trace_kprobe_create()"), writing an incorrectly
formatted string to uprobe_events can trigger NULL pointer dereference.

Reporeducer:

# echo r > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

dmesg:
