CVE-2022-50008CVE-2022-50008
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: don't call disarm_kprobe() for disabled kprobes
The assumption in __disable_kprobe() is wrong, and it could try to disarm
an already disarmed kprobe and fire the WARN_ONCE() below. [0] We can
easily reproduce this issue.
1. Write 0 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled.
# echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
2. Run execsnoop. At this time, one kprobe is disabled.
# /usr/share/bcc/tools/execsnoop &
[1] 2460
PCOMM PID PPID RET ARGS
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff91345650 r __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [FTRACE]
ffffffff91345650 k __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [DISABLED][FTRACE]
3. Write 1 to /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled, which changes
kprobes_all_disarmed to false but does not arm the disabled kprobe.
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/enabled
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
ffffffff91345650 r __x64_sys_execve+0x0 [FTRACE]
ffffffff9
