🇰🇷 한글 설명
Linux 커널의 ftrace 기능에서 ftrace가 비활성화된 상태로 모듈이 제거될 때 발생하는 Use-After-Free(UAF) 취약점입니다. 모듈이 제거된 후에도 kallsyms가 해당 모듈의 메모리에 접근하려고 시도하여 시스템 오류나 커널 패닉을 유발할 수 있습니다.
💡 쉬운 설명
컴퓨터 프로그램(모듈)이 삭제되었는데, 시스템이 여전히 그 프로그램이 남아있다고 착각하고 접근하려다 발생하는 오류입니다. 이로 인해 시스템이 갑자기 멈추거나 꺼질 수 있습니다.

The above issue may happen as follows:
(1) Add kprobe tracepoint;
(2) insmod test.ko;
(3) Module triggers ftrace disabled;
(4) rmmod test.ko;
(5) cat /proc/kallsyms; --> Will trigger UAF as test.ko already removed;
ftrace_mod_get_kallsym()
...
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
...
The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and
sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is
discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text
modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops
more than just the text modification.
When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because
kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace
saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This
allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names
instead of just their raw memory addresses.
When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if
ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The
problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms
is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that
has already been freed as it will return:
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.
