In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fgraph: Do not enable function_graph tracer when setting funcgraph-args

When setting the funcgraph-args option when function graph tracer is net enabled, it incorrectly enables it. Worse, it unregisters itself when it was never registered. Then when it gets enabled again, it will register itself a second time causing a WARNing.

Notice the "tracer: nop" at the top there. The current tracer is the "nop" tracer, but the content is obviously the function graph tracer.

Enabling function graph tracing will cause it to register again and trigger a warning in the accounting:

~# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer -bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
