[PATCH 1/1] tracing/uprobes: Reject unregistering enabled trace_uprobe to prevent UAF

From: Luxiao Xu <[email protected]>

When unregistering a trace_uprobe, if the probe has a sibling
(i.e. trace_probe_has_sibling() is true), unregister_trace_uprobe()
jumps directly to unreg, bypassing event busy checks and
unregister_uprobe_event().

However, if the trace_uprobe is currently enabled, freeing it without
disabling it allows uprobe callbacks (such as uprobe_dispatcher()) to
continue accessing the freed trace_uprobe structure. This leads to a
use-after-free (UAF) condition.

Fix this by checking trace_probe_is_enabled() at the entry of
unregister_trace_uprobe(). If the probe is enabled, return -EBUSY
immediately to prevent unregistering and freeing an active probe.

Fixes: 41af3cf587f4 ("tracing/uprobe: Add multi-probe per uprobe event support")
