From dc432c3d7f9bceb3de6f5b44fb9c657c9810ed6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 11:59:32 -0400 Subject: tracing: Fix regex_match_front() to not over compare the test string 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.
