It is possible to trigger a NULL pointer dereference by writing an
incorrectly formatted string to krpobe_events (omitting the symbol).
Example:
echo "r:event_1 " >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
That triggers this:

Oops! It is my fault on commit 6212dd29683e ("tracing/kprobes: Use dyn_event
framework for kprobe events")
Previously, we have following check, but it is removed
- if (argc < 2) {
- pr_info("Probe point is not specified.\n");
- return -EINVAL;
- }
and check it only for kprobe event but not kretprobe event.
/* argc must be >= 1 */
if (argv[0][0] == 'r') {
is_return = true;
flags |= TPARG_FL_RETURN;
} else if (argv[0][0] != 'p' || argc < 2)
return -ECANCELED;
I would like to recover above if block instead of adding new check.
Could you do it with Fixed: and Cc: [email protected] tags?
Thank you,
