Resolved Date: Feb 7, 2025
Found In Version: 10.23.30.1
Fix Version: 10.23.30.15
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 23
Component/s: Kernel

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix UAF via mismatching bpf_prog/attachment RCU flavors

Uprobes always use bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() under tasks-trace-RCU
protection. But it is possible to attach a non-sleepable BPF program to a
uprobe, and non-sleepable BPF programs are freed via normal RCU (see
__bpf_prog_put_noref()). This leads to UAF of the bpf_prog because a normal
RCU grace period does not imply a tasks-trace-RCU grace period.

Fix it by explicitly waiting for a tasks-trace-RCU grace period after
removing the attachment of a bpf_prog to a perf_event.
