[PATCH 1/5] tracing: Check for no filter when processing event filters

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Fri Jun 22 2018 - 21:21:28 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The syzkaller detected a out-of-bounds issue with the events filter code,
specifically here:

prog[N].pred = NULL; /* #13 */
prog[N].target = 1; /* TRUE */
prog[N+1].pred = NULL;
prog[N+1].target = 0; /* FALSE */
-> prog[N-1].target = N;
prog[N-1].when_to_branch = false;

As that's the first reference to a "N-1" index, it appears that the code got
here with N = 0, which means the filter parser found no filter to parse
(which shouldn't ever happen, but apparently it did).

Add a new error to the parsing code that will check to make sure that N is
not zero before going into this part of the code. If N = 0, then -EINVAL is
returned, and a error message is added to the filter.
