The trigger is that attach order, not a remote protocol message.\nAC:L - The attacker chooses the order: tracing_multi first so register_fentry_multi() never sets tr->func.ftrace_managed, then fentry so modify_fentry() takes bpf_arch_text_poke() instead of direct_ops_mod(), then close() of the tracing_multi fd into bpf_trampoline_multi_detach(). No race or uninfluenced victim state is required.\nPR:L - bpf_prog_load() for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING (fentry.multi and fentry) requires bpf_token_capable(CAP_BPF) and, via is_perfmon_prog_type(), bpf_token_capable(CAP_PERFMON). Those caps are delegable with a BPF token into a non-init user namespace, so this is Low rather than init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker loads both programs, creates the tracing_multi and fentry links, and closes the tracing_multi fd themselves (bpf_link_release → bpf_tracing_multi_link_release). No other user must mount, open, or otherwise act on attacker-supplied objects.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of a kernel bpf_tramp_image that remains an ftrace direct-call target. That is in-kernel privilege escalation, not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host or IOMMU boundary cross, so scope stays Unchanged.\nC:H - modify_fentry() text-pokes the fentry site to Image B and bpf_tramp_image_put()s Image A; bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() still bpf_tramp_image_put()s Image B in bpf_trampoline_multi_attach_free() after update_ftrace_direct_del/mod fails, so a later call of the hooked function executes freed trampoline memory.\nI:H - The hooked function’s live CALL/JMP still targets the trampoline image bpf_trampoline_multi_attach_free() freed after the failed ftrace update, so reclaiming that JIT page hijacks control flow at the ftrace site (arbitrary kernel write/execute).\nA:H - bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() hits WARN_ON_ONCE(update_ftrace_direct_del()) at trampoline.c:1727 when ftrace’s recorded direct target no longer matches the poked site, and the subsequent jump into the freed bpf_tramp_image oopses or panics." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/bpf/trampoline.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "aef4dfa790b22d8052cfb78044eadbe03c876c39", "lessThan": "280145253fd38fa975cc04963ddaf74c7f415011", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "aef4dfa790b22d8052cfb78044eadbe03c876c39", "lessThan": "30bdd6d1384d894931f113eb595636092d8e650c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/bpf/trampoline.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "7.2", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "7.2", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.2", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "7.2", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/280145253fd38fa975cc04963ddaf74c7f415011" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/30bdd6d1384d894931f113eb595636092d8e650c" } ], "title": "bpf: Mark tracing_multi trampolines as ftrace managed", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
