From 6a76f8c0ab19f215af2a3442870eeb5f0e81998d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 15:55:01 +0900 Subject: tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic. It can be easily reproduced with following command: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a") and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().
