Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: fprobe events: Fix possible UAF on modules
Commit ac91052f0ae5 ("tracing: tprobe-events: Fix leakage of module
refcount") moved try_module_get() from __find_tracepoint_module_cb()
to find_tracepoint() caller, but that introduced a possible UAF
because the module can be unloaded before try_module_get(). In this
case, the module object should be freed too. Thus, try_module_get()
does not only fail but may access to the freed object.
To avoid that, try_module_get() in __find_tracepoint_module_cb()
again.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A race condition in the fprobe tracing subsystem occurs when resolving tracepoints while a kernel module is concurrently unloaded, leading to a use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability when the freed module memory is accessed. A local attacker with administrative privileges could exploit this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a system crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate severity because exploitation requires local administrative privileges to configure kernel tracing events while concurrently unloading kernel modules, limiting the practical attack surface. Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux releases are not affected by this flaw as the commit introducing the race condition was not backported to their respective kernels.
