"The version of kernel installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-38588 advisory.
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftrace: Fix possible use-after-free
issue in ftrace_location() KASAN reports a bug: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_location+0x90/0x120

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x71/0x79 The root cause is that, in lookup_rec(), ftrace record of some
address is being searched in ftrace pages of some module, but those ftrace pages at the same time is being
freed in ftrace_release_mod() as the corresponding module is being deleted: CPU1 | CPU2 register_kprobes()
{ | delete_module() { check_kprobe_address_safe() { | arch_check_ftrace_location() { | ftrace_location() {
| lookup_rec() // USE! | ftrace_release_mod() // Free! To fix this issue: 1. Hold rcu lock as accessing
ftrace pages in ftrace_location_range(); 2. Use ftrace_location_range() instead of lookup_rec() in
ftrace_location(); 3. Call synchronize_rcu() before freeing any ftrace pages both in
ftrace_process_locs()/ftrace_release_mod()/ftrace_free_mem(). (CVE-2024-38588)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
