In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers When two hist triggers on different events are registered with the same name=, the second one reuses the first as named_data. Both are added to tr->hist_vars by save_hist_vars() during event_hist_trigger_parse(), because save_hist_vars() is called before event_trigger_register() while the named reuse is only detected later, in hist_register_trigger(). In the named-data branch hist_register_trigger() then frees the second histogram's hist_data via destroy_hist_data(), but never removes its tr->hist_vars list entry, leaving a dangling pointer and leaking the trace_array reference it holds. A later hist trigger that references a variable makes find_var_file() walk tr->hist_vars and dereference the freed hist_data. The bug is reproducible from userspace by writing three hist triggers to tracefs: cd /sys/kernel/tracing echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=common_pid:name=mh' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x' > events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger The third write panics the kernel: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in find_var_file.part.0+0x272/0x290 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888001f8a0e0 by task sh/1 CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: sh Tainted: G D N Call Trace: find_var_file.part.0 find_event_var parse_atom parse_expr __create_val_field event_hist_trigger_parse trigger_process_regex event_trigger_write vfs_write ksys_write do_syscall_64 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe Allocated by task 1: event_hist_trigger_parse Freed by task 1: hist_register_trigger+0x618/0xa30 event_hist_trigger_parse The buggy address belongs to freed 2048-byte region Oops: general protection fault ... RIP: find_var_file.part.0 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b Fix by removing the hist_data from tr->hist_vars and releasing the trace_array reference in the named-data branch of hist_register_trigger() before freeing the hist_data.
