🇰🇷 한글 설명
리눅스 커널의 tracing 기능에서 길이 검사 오류로 인해 메모리 오염이 발생하는 취약점입니다. ftrace 버퍼의 경계를 벗어난 쓰기 작업이 발생하여 시스템 크래시나 메모리 손상을 유발할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
컴퓨터의 기록 장치(tracing)가 데이터를 저장할 때, 정해진 공간보다 더 많은 데이터를 쓰려고 시도하여 시스템이 고장 나는 문제입니다. 이로 인해 컴퓨터가 갑자기 멈추거나 예상치 못한 오류가 발생할 수 있습니다.

James Wang has reproduced it stably on the latest 4.19 LTS.
After some debugging, we finally proved that it's due to ftrace
buffer out-of-bound access using a debug tool as follows:

commit b220c049d519 ("tracing: Check length before giving out
the filter buffer") adds length check to protect trace data
overflow introduced in 0fc1b09ff1ff, seems that this fix can't prevent
overflow entirely, the length check should also take the sizeof
entry->array[0] into account, since this array[0] is filled the
length of trace data and occupy addtional space and risk overflow.
