CVE-2026-23309

EUVD-2026-15251
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.
