Summary

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

tracing: Fix oob write in trace_seq_to_buffer()

syzbot reported this bug:

It has been reported that trace_seq_to_buffer() tries to copy more data than PAGE_SIZE to buf. Therefore, to prevent this, we should use the smaller of trace_seq_used(&iter->seq) and PAGE_SIZE as an argument.
