CVE-2025-39813 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftrace: Fix potential warning in trace_printk_seq during ftrace_dump When calling ftrace_dump_one() concurrently with reading trace_pipe, a WARN_ON_ONCE() in trace_printk_seq() can be triggered due to a race condition. The issue occurs because: CPU0 (ftrace_dump) CPU1 (reader) echo z > /proc/sysrq-trigger !trace_empty(&iter) trace_iterator_reset(&iter) <- len = size = 0 cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe trace_find_next_entry_inc(&iter) __find_next_entry ring_buffer_empty_cpu <- all empty return NULL trace_printk_seq(&iter.seq) WARN_ON_ONCE(s->seq.len >= s->seq.size) In the context between trace_empty() and trace_find_next_entry_inc() during ftrace_dump, the ring buffer data was consumed by other readers. This caused trace_find_next_entry_inc to return NULL, failing to populate `iter.seq`. At this point, due to the prior trace_iterator_reset, both `iter.seq.len` and `iter.seq.size` were set to 0. Since they are equal, the WARN_ON_ONCE condition is triggered. Move the trace_printk_seq() into the if block that checks to make sure the return value of trace_find_next_entry_inc() is non-NULL in ftrace_dump_one(), ensuring the 'iter.seq' is properly populated before subsequent operations.
A race condition vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's ftrace functionality, specifically within the ftrace_dump process. This vulnerability can cause a WARN_ON_ONCE() warning to be triggered in the trace_printk_seq() function. The issue arises when ftrace_dump_one() is called concurrently with reading from trace_pipe, leading to a situation where the ring buffer data is consumed by other readers. As a result, the trace_find_next_entry_inc() function returns NULL, failing to populate the iteration sequence. This vulnerability affects several versions of the Linux kernel.
Users can upgrade to the latest stable version of the Linux kernel, where this vulnerability has been addressed. Instructions for downloading the latest version can be found on the official Linux kernel website.
