From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rost...@goodmis.org> The destroy_actions() function will call track_data_destroy() which calls destroy_hist_field() on the data->track_data.var_ref. This checks the hist_field flags for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, and if it is set it will not free the variable as it will be freed later.
destroy_hist_fields() frees the hist_fields that are marked with HIST_FIELD_VAR_REF. The issue is that destroy_hist_fields() is called before destroy_actions() and frees the data->track_data.var_ref before destroy_actions() is called. When the destroy_hist_field() checks the hist_field's flag for HIST_FIELD_FL_VAR_REF, the hist_field has already been freed, and KASAN reports a "used after free" warning: ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in destroy_hist_field+0x30/0x70 Read of size 8 at addr ffff888086df2210 by task bash/1694 CPU: 6 PID: 1694 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.1.0-rc1-test+ #15 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v03.03 07/14/2016 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x71/0xa0 ? destroy_hist_field+0x30/0x70 print_address_description.cold.3+0x9/0x1fb ? destroy_hist_field+0x30/0x70 ? destroy_hist_field+0x30/0x70 kasan_report.cold.4+0x1a/0x33 ? __kasan_slab_free+0x100/0x150 ? destroy_hist_field+0x30/0x70 destroy_hist_field+0x30/0x70 track_data_destroy+0x55/0xe0 destroy_hist_data+0x1f0/0x350 hist_unreg_all+0x203/0x220 event_trigger_open+0xbb/0x130 do_dentry_open+0x296/0x700 ? stacktrace_count_trigger+0x30/0x30 ? generic_permission+0x56/0x200 ? __x64_sys_fchdir+0xd0/0xd0 ? inode_permission+0x55/0x200 ? security_inode_permission+0x18/0x60 path_openat+0x633/0x22b0 ? path_lookupat.isra.50+0x420/0x420 ? __kasan_kmalloc.constprop.12+0xc1/0xd0 ? kmem_cache_alloc+0xe5/0x260 ? getname_flags+0x6c/0x2a0 ? do_sys_open+0x149/0x2b0 ? do_syscall_64+0x73/0x1b0 ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 ? _raw_write_lock_bh+0xe0/0xe0 ? __kernel_text_address+0xe/0x30 ? unwind_get_return_address+0x2f/0x50 ? __list_add_valid+0x2d/0x70 ? deactivate_slab.isra.62+0x1f4/0x5a0 ? getname_flags+0x6c/0x2a0 ? set_track+0x76/0x120 do_filp_open+0x11a/0x1a0 ? may_open_dev+0x50/0x50 ? _raw_spin_lock+0x7a/0xd0 ? _raw_write_lock_bh+0xe0/0xe0 ? __alloc_fd+0x10f/0x200 do_sys_open+0x1db/0x2b0 ? filp_open+0x50/0x50 do_syscall_64+0x73/0x1b0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7fa7b24a4ca2 Code: 25 00 00 41 00 3d 00 00 41 00 74 4c 48 8d 05 85 7a 0d 00 8b 00 85 c0 75 6d 89 f2 b8 01 01 00 00 48 89 fe bf 9c ff ff ff 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 0f 87 a2 00 00 00 48 8b 4c 24 28 64 48 33 0c 25 RSP: 002b:00007fffbafb3af0 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000101 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 000055d3648ade30 RCX: 00007fa7b24a4ca2 RDX: 0000000000000241 RSI: 000055d364a55240 RDI: 00000000ffffff9c RBP: 00007fffbafb3bf0 R08: 0000000000000020 R09: 0000000000000002 R10: 00000000000001b6 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 0000000000000003 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 000055d364a55240 By calling destroy_actions() before destroy_hist_fields() will move the check before the free.
