Linux kernel tracing event filter parser reads memory out of bounds
A flaw in Linux kernel trace filters can let memory be read wrongly.
Summary
Incomplete event filter expressions in the Linux kernel tracing code can make the parser read memory outside its buffer. The record lists kernels from 4.17 onward as affected.
What to do
Apply your distribution's kernel update. Check that your kernel is newer than the fixed stable release for its branch (for example 6.1.191 or 6.6.161), and read your vendor's advisory.
