LIN1023-19376 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-23309

Created: Mar 26, 2026    Updated: Mar 31, 2026
Found In Version: 10.23.30.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 23
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  tracing: Add NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free()  If trigger_data_alloc() fails and returns NULL, event_hist_trigger_parse() jumps to the out_free error path. While kfree() safely handles a NULL pointer, trigger_data_free() does not. This causes a NULL pointer dereference in trigger_data_free() when evaluating data->cmd_ops->set_filter.  Fix the problem by adding a NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free().  The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.
