In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Save the event file instead of the compatible histogram
create_field_var_hist() creates a histogram on the matched event to
supply a field variable, and records it on the target so it can be torn
down later:
hist_data = find_compatible_hist(target_hist_data, file);
…
/* Save the compatible histogram information */
var_hist->hist_data = hist_data;
hist_data is not the histogram it creates. It is one that was already
there, whose keys the new one copies. The saved pointer has a single
user, unregister_field_var_hists(), which runs when the target is
removed:
file = hist_data->field_var_hists[i]->hist_data->event_file;
find_compatible_hist() matches on keys alone, so it can pick one with no
variables of its own. check_var_refs() then returns false and the user
can remove it while the target still points at it:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in event_hist_trigger_free+0x2b2/0x320
Read of size 8 at addr ffff8880093b90e0 by task init/1

Save the event file instead. It is all the dereference ever wanted, and
it does not go away when the user removes a trigger.
