tracing: Fix regex_match_front() to not over compare the test string
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774173 commit dc432c3d upstream. The regex match function regex_match_front() in the tracing filter logic, was fixed to test just the pattern length from testing the entire test string. That is, it went from strncmp(str, r->pattern, len) to strcmp(str, r->pattern, r->len). The issue is that str is not guaranteed to be nul terminated, and if r->len is greater than the length of str, it can access more memory than is allocated. The solution is to add a simple test if (len < r->len) return 0.
