Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] bpf: Fix two trampoline image UAFs in bpf_trampoline_multi_detach()
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 16:43:37 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1784191209.git.zhuhui@kylinos.cn> (raw)
From: Hui Zhu <zhuhui@kylinos.cn>
While auditing the error paths added by commit aef4dfa790b2 ("bpf: Add
bpf_trampoline_multi_attach/detach functions"), I found two independent
ways bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() can free a trampoline image that
ftrace is still actively calling into.
Patch 1 fixes the case where __bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog() itself
fails before touching ftrace (e.g. -ENOMEM building the new image):
cur_image is left equal to old_image, but
bpf_trampoline_multi_attach_free() frees old_image unconditionally.
Patch 2 fixes the narrower case where the per-trampoline unlink
succeeds (cur_image has already been speculatively advanced) but the
later batched update_ftrace_direct_del()/update_ftrace_direct_mod()
call fails. Patch 1's old_image != cur_image check alone isn't enough
here since ftrace was never actually updated; the affected
trampolines need to be rolled back to old_image instead of freed.
Both paths are already WARN_ON_ONCE()'d and need an allocation or
ftrace failure to trigger, so they're unlikely to fire in practice,
but when they do, the current code frees a live image out from under
ftrace.
