Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux Kernel versions prior to v4.19.195
Description
The issue concerns the ftrace functionality, specifically the ftrace bug() function, where it blindly reads the IP address. This could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities, although the actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven. The issue was introduced in version v2.6.28 and is fixed in Linux Kernel version v4.19.195.
Recommendations
For Linux Kernel versions prior to v4.19.195, update to version v4.19.195 or later to resolve the issue.
