The range of frame->fp is checked insufficiently, which may lead to a wrong next fp. As a result, bt->stackbuf will be accessed out of range, and segfault. crash> bt [Detaching after fork from child process 11409] PID: 7661 TASK: ffffff81858aa500 CPU: 4 COMMAND: "sh" #0 [ffffffc008003f50] local_cpu_stop at ffffffdd7669444c Thread 1 "crash" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00005555558266cc in arm64_unwind_frame (bt=0x7fffffffd8f0, frame=0x7fffffffd080) at arm64.c:2821 2821 frame->fp = GET_STACK_ULONG(fp); (gdb) bt #0 0x00005555558266cc in arm64_unwind_frame (bt=0x7fffffffd8f0, frame=0x7fffffffd080) at arm64.c:2821 #1 0x0000555555827527 in arm64_back_trace_cmd (bt=0x7fffffffd8f0) at arm64.c:3306 #2 0x00005555557df7ee in back_trace (bt=0x7fffffffd8f0) at kernel.c:3240 #3 0x00005555557dd748 in cmd_bt () at kernel.c:2881 #4 0x00005555557367fb in exec_command () at main.c:893 #5 0x00005555557365ce in main_loop () at main.c:840 #6 0x0000555555aa4801 in captured_main (data=<optimized out>) at main.c:1284 #7 gdb_main (args=<optimized out>) at main.c:1313 #8 0x0000555555aa4880 in gdb_main_entry (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at main.c:1338 #9 0x000055555580206f in gdb_main_loop (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffe248) at gdb_interface.c:81 #10 0x0000555555736291 in main (argc=3, argv=0x7fffffffe248) at main.c:721 (gdb) p /x *(struct bt_info*) 0x7fffffffd8f0 $3 = {task = 0xffffff81858aa500, flags = 0x0, instptr = 0xffffffdd76694450, stkptr = 0xffffffc008003f40, bptr = 0x0, stackbase = 0xffffffc027288000, stacktop = 0xffffffc02728c000, stackbuf = 0x555556115a40, tc = 0x55559d16fdc0, hp = 0x0, textlist = 0x0, ref = 0x0, frameptr = 0xffffffc008003f50, call_target = 0x0, machdep = 0x0, debug = 0x0, eframe_ip = 0x0, radix = 0x0, cpumask = 0x0} (gdb) p /x *(struct arm64_stackframe*) 0x7fffffffd080 $4 = {fp = 0xffffffc008003f50, sp = 0xffffffc008003f60, pc = 0xffffffdd76694450} crash> bt -S 0xffffffc008003f50 PID: 7661 TASK: ffffff81858aa500 CPU: 4 COMMAND: "sh" bt: non-process stack address for this task: ffffffc008003f50 (valid range: ffffffc027288000 - ffffffc02728c000) Check frame->fp value sufficiently before access it .
