Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix invalid address access in lookup_rec() when index is 0
KASAN reported follow problem:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in lookup_rec
Read of size 8 at addr ffff000199270ff0 by task modprobe
CPU: 2 Comm: modprobe
Call trace:
kasan_report
__asan_load8
lookup_rec
ftrace_location
arch_check_ftrace_location
check_kprobe_address_safe
register_kprobe
When checking pg->records[pg->index - 1].ip in lookup_rec(), it can get a
pg which is newly added to ftrace_pages_start in ftrace_process_locs().
Before the first pg->index++, index is 0 and accessing pg->records[-1].ip
will cause this problem.
Don't check the ip when pg->index is 0.
