"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Also allocate and copy hash for reading of filter files
Currently the reader of set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace just
adds the pointer to the global tracer hash to its iterator. Unlike
the writer that allocates a copy of the hash, the reader keeps the
pointer to the filter hashes. This is problematic because this
pointer is static across function calls that release the locks that
can update the global tracer hashes. This can cause UAF and similar
bugs. Allocate and copy the hash for reading the filter files like
it is done for the writers. This not only fixes UAF bugs, but also
makes the code a bit simpler as it doesn't have to differentiate when
to free the iterator's hash between writers and readers.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
