In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: Unconditionally get a ref to /dev/kvm module when creating a VM Unconditionally get a reference to the /dev/kvm module when creating a VM instead of using try_get_module(), which will fail if the module is in the process of being forcefully unloaded. The error handling when try_get_module() fails doesn't properly unwind all that has been done, e.g. doesn't call kvm_arch_pre_destroy_vm() and doesn't remove the VM from the global list. Not removing VMs from the global list tends to be fatal, e.g. leads to use-after-free explosions. The obvious alternative would be to add proper unwinding, but the justification for using try_get_module(), "rmmod --wait", is completely bogus as support for "rmmod --wait", i.e. delete_module() without O_NONBLOCK, was removed by commit 3f2b9c9cdf38 ("module: remove rmmod --wait option.") nearly a decade ago. It's still possible for try_get_module() to fail due to the module dyi...
