From: Jiri Olsa When iterating the jump_label entries array (core or modules), the __jump_label_update function peeks over the last entry. The reason is that the end of the for loop depends on the key value of the processed entry. Thus when going through the last array entry, we will touch the memory behind the array limit. This bug probably will never be triggered, since most likely the memory behind the jump_label entries will be accesable and the entry->key will be different than the expected value.
