In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops
KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops [1]. It was found from vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content successively, both dynamic. After unregistering the second ops, a use-after-free occurred.
In ftraceshutdown(), when the second ops is unregistered, the FTRACEUPDATECALLS command is not set because there is another enabled ops with the same content. Also, both ops are dynamic and the ftrace callback function is ftraceopslistfunc, so the FTRACEUPDATETRACEFUNC command will not be set. Eventually the value of 'command' will be 0 and ftraceshutdown() will skip the rcu synchronization.
However, ftrace may be activated. When the ops is released, another CPU may be accessing the ops. Add the missing synchronization to fix this problem.
