CVE-2026-64075
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fprobe: Fix unregister_fprobe() to wait for RCU grace period
Commit 4346ba1604093 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer")
changed fprobe to register struct fprobe to an rcu-hlist, but it forgot
to wait for RCU GP. Thus there can be use-after-free if the fprobe is
released right after unregistering. This can be happened on fprobe
event and sample module code.
To fix this issue, add synchronize_rcu() in unregister_fprobe().
Note that BPF is OK because fprobe is used as a part of
bpf_kprobe_multi_link. This unregisters its fprobe in
bpf_kprobe_multi_link_release() and it is deallocated via
bpf_kprobe_multi_link_dealloc(), which is invoked from
bpf_link_defer_dealloc_rcu_gp() RCU callback.
For BPF, this also introduced unregister_fprobe_async() which does
NOT wait for RCU grace priod.
