CVE-2024-57930 at MITRE

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing: Have process_string() also allow arrays

In order to catch a common bug where a TRACE_EVENT() TP_fast_assign()
assigns an address of an allocated string to the ring buffer and then
references it in TP_printk(), which can be executed hours later when the
string is free, the function test_event_printk() runs on all events as
they are registered to make sure there's no unwanted dereferencing.

It calls process_string() to handle cases in TP_printk() format that has
"%s". It returns whether or not the string is safe. But it can have some
false positives.

For instance, xe_bo_move() has:

TP_printk("move_lacks_source:%s, migrate object %p [size %zu] from %s to %s device_id:%s",
__entry->move_lacks_source ? "yes" : "no", __entry->bo, __entry->size,
xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->old_placement],
xe_mem_type_to_name[__entry->new_placement], __get_str(device_id))

Where the "%s" references into xe_mem_type_to_name[]. This is an array of
pointers that should be safe for the event to access. Instead of flagging
this as a bad reference, if a reference points to an array, where the
record field is the index, consider it safe.
