In this\ncase, the module object should be freed too. Thus, try_module_get()\ndoes not only fail but may access to the freed object.\n\nTo avoid that, try_module_get() in __find_tracepoint_module_cb()\nagain."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached only by writing a tracepoint probe definition to the tracefs `dynamic_events` file (`trace_fprobe_create()` → `find_tracepoint()`), which requires local access to the machine. There is no network-facing consumer of this code.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides of the race — repeatedly issuing `t:` tprobe creations while causing module load/unload churn — and the operation can be retried indefinitely at no cost until the window between `mutex_unlock()` in `for_each_module_tracepoint()` and `try_module_get()` is hit. `CONFIG_FPROBE_EVENTS` is `default y`, so no rare configuration is required.\nPR:L - Exploitation needs write access to the tracefs `dynamic_events` interface, which is routinely delegated to non-root tracing/debug accounts and groups (Android shell/system, ChromeOS debugd, perf/tracing groups, container debug sidecars) rather than being an exclusively root-only capability. No credential check exists in the code path itself beyond file permissions.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the tracefs write and the concurrent module operations entirely on their own; no victim action or interaction is needed.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel memory within the same security authority as the kernel itself; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The stale `struct module` and the stale tracepoint structure are read after being freed, and if the freed region is reclaimed by attacker-sprayed allocations the resulting values (`probestub` address, funcname resolved via `kallsyms_lookup()`) feed back into observable state, giving a path to kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - `try_module_get()` performs an atomic increment into freed memory, and a \"successful\" get lets the code register a tracepoint probe and an ftrace hook using function pointers read out of freed, reclaimable memory — a write plus control-flow-hijack primitive.\nA:H - Touching the freed module allocation (vmalloc-backed, so frequently unmapped on free) produces an immediate oops or panic, and the subsequent probe registration on freed tracepoint data reliably destabilizes the kernel."
