In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Fix possible use-after-free issue on kprobe registration When
unloading a module, its state is changing MODULE_STATE_LIVE ->
MODULE_STATE_GOING -> MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. Each change will take a time.
is_module_text_address()
and __module_text_address()
works with
MODULE_STATE_LIVE and MODULE_STATE_GOING. If we use
is_module_text_address()
and __module_text_address()
separately, there
is a chance that the first one is succeeded but the next one is failed
because module->state becomes MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED between those
operations. In check_kprobe_address_safe()
, if the second
__module_text_address()
is failed, that is ignored because it expected a
kernel_text address. But it may have failed simply because module->state
has been changed to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. In this case, arm_kprobe() will
try to modify non-exist module text address (use-after-free). To fix this
problem, we should not use separated is_module_text_address()
and
__module_text_address()
, but use only __module_text_address()
once and
do try_module_get(module)
which is only available with MODULE_STATE_LIVE.
