From: Hui Zhu <[email protected]> This series fixes several use-after-free issues in the BPF trampoline multi-attach/detach error paths, where ftrace direct-call updates can fail and leave ftrace pointing at freed memory. Patch 1 addresses two UAF scenarios in bpf_trampoline_multi_detach(): the single-point unlink failure path (old_image == cur_image) and the batch ftrace update failure path. A new pinned_prog field in struct bpf_tramp_image keeps the bpf_prog alive while ftrace may still reference its image. bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() is made to return void, since callers cannot usefully react to failures, and bpf_trampoline_put() is taught to leak the trampoline when cur_image was left behind by a rollback, so ftrace keeps a valid target. Patch 2 fixes a similar UAF in bpf_trampoline_multi_attach() rollback: when the register-path undo fails, ftrace still calls into cur_image, so the prog is pinned on cur_image instead of being rolled back. Patch 3 fixes the common __bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog() path, covering both multi (bpf_trampoline_multi_detach) and non-multi (bpf_tracing_link_release, bpf_shim_tramp_link_release) callers.

According to the comments of Jiri Olsa, Pin the prog (pinned_prog) on cur_image so it stays alive while ftrace may still call into it. Make bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() return void. Fix the same UAF in standard (non-multi) trampolines. According to the comments of sashiko, Fix the prog UAF in bpf_trampoline_multi_attach() rollback. Leak the trampoline in bpf_trampoline_put() when cur_image is left by a rollback. -- 2.53.0
