🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 kprobe 및 synth 이벤트 생성 테스트 모듈이 built-in으로 컴파일될 때, 이벤트가 커널에 잠긴 채로 남아있어 제거되지 않는 문제입니다. 이는 kprobe 이벤트 자체 테스트 실패와 동적 이벤트 정리 실패를 초래합니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
Linux 커널의 테스트 코드가 올바르지 않은 방식으로 컴파일되어 시스템에 영구적으로 남아있는 문제입니다. 테스트 모듈을 독립적인 모듈 형태로만 컴파일하면 해결됩니다.
🇺🇸 원문 (English)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Build event generation tests only as modules
The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock
(get a reference) those event file reference in module init function,
and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those
are designed for playing as modules.
If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the
kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure
as below.

And also, since we can not cleanup dynamic_event file, ftracetest are
failed too.
To avoid these issues, build these tests only as modules.
📍 영향받는 시스템
Linux kernel 6.9.0 이상, 커널 트레이싱 기능이 활성화된 시스템
⚔️ 공격 벡터
로컬 접근 - 커널 설정 변경 또는 재컴파일을 통해 트레이싱 테스트 실패 유발 가능
🛡️ 대응 방법
Linux 커널을 최신 패치 버전으로 업그레이드하거나 CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_GEN_TEST, CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS_GEN_TEST를 module(=m)로 설정
🔧 검증 코드
Patched 출력 시 안전, Vulnerable 출력 시 영향을 받음
grep -E 'CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_GEN_TEST|CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS_GEN_TEST' /boot/config-$(uname -r) | grep -q '=m' && echo 'Patched' || echo 'Vulnerable'
