Title
ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead
ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
ftrace_startup_enable fails:
register_ftrace_function
ftrace_startup
__register_ftrace_function
...
add_ftrace_ops(&ftrace_ops_list, ops)
...
...
ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
...
return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.
When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:
unregister_ftrace_function
ftrace_shutdown
if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
return -ENODEV; // return here, __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed,
// as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
__unregister_ftrace_function
...
If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer:
is_ftrace_trampoline
ftrace_ops_trampoline
do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL!
Syzkaller reports as follows:

Therefore, when ftrace_startup_enable fails, we need to rollback registration
process and remove ops from ftrace_ops_list.

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached through local ftrace registration paths (tracefs function tracer/instances/set_ftrace_filter probes, or perf_event_open function tracing) that call register_ftrace_function \u2192 ftrace_startup; there is no network or adjacent-protocol entry point.\nAC:L - An attacker who can drive ftrace registration fully controls creating dynamic ops, forcing the ftrace_startup_enable failure/disable window (as syzkaller did), ignoring failed unregister, and freeing the ops, then triggering is_ftrace_trampoline via stack unwind; success is not left to uncontrolled third-party state.\nPR:L - Worst reasonable deployments grant TRACE_MODE_WRITE (0640) via tracefs gid=tracing (Android atrace/perfetto, ChromeOS) or CAP_PERFMON for function tracing; these are delegatable low privileges, not init-namespace root, and are not obtainable only via full CAP_SYS_ADMIN.\nUI:N - The attacker creates instances/enables the function tracer (or opens a perf ftrace event), triggers the dead-ftrace register/unregister/free sequence, and causes stack unwinding themselves with no separate victim action.\nS:U - The dangling ftrace_ops UAF and any resulting memory corruption or oops remain inside the host kernel\u0027s privilege domain; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or other cross-authority boundary crossing.\nC:H - Dynamically allocated ftrace_ops remain linked on ftrace_ops_list after free, so is_ftrace_trampoline\u0027s list walk is a use-after-free that can be reclaimed/sprayed to disclose kernel memory through trampoline/next field reads.\nI:H - The same UAF of struct ftrace_ops (including func/trampoline pointers) is heap-sprayable into type confusion and control-flow hijack when list walkers consume the reclaimed object, matching CVSS guidance that exploitable UAFs are Integrity High.\nA:H - The confirmed syzkaller outcome is a kernel NULL pointer dereference oops in is_ftrace_trampoline while walking the stale ops list, which panics or takes down the system and can be re-triggered after the dangling entry is left behind."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
