Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()
btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the
ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks
for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the
error up the stack.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 6.6)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.6.1 < 6.6.33)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.9 < 6.9.4)
• linux linux kernel 6.10.0
