Title
bpf: Mark tracing_multi trampolines as ftrace managed
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Mark tracing_multi trampolines as ftrace managed Since tracing_multi link does not set ftrace_managed, it would fail to release the tracing_multi link when attaching tracing_multi link and then attaching fentry link. [ 3.714215] WARNING: kernel/bpf/trampoline.c:1727 at bpf_trampoline_multi_detach+0x20b/0x240, CPU#1: test_progs/97 ... [ 3.733170] bpf_tracing_multi_link_release+0x14/0x30 [ 3.733890] bpf_link_free+0x58/0x130 [ 3.734414] bpf_link_release+0x23/0x30 Fix it by setting 'ftrace_managed = true' in register_fentry_multi().

The trigger is that attach order, not a remote protocol message.\nAC:L - The attacker chooses the order: tracing_multi first so register_fentry_multi() never sets tr-\u003efunc.ftrace_managed, then fentry so modify_fentry() takes bpf_arch_text_poke() instead of direct_ops_mod(), then close() of the tracing_multi fd into bpf_trampoline_multi_detach(). No race or uninfluenced victim state is required.\nPR:L - bpf_prog_load() for BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING (fentry.multi and fentry) requires bpf_token_capable(CAP_BPF) and, via is_perfmon_prog_type(), bpf_token_capable(CAP_PERFMON). Those caps are delegable with a BPF token into a non-init user namespace, so this is Low rather than init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker loads both programs, creates the tracing_multi and fentry links, and closes the tracing_multi fd themselves (bpf_link_release \u2192 bpf_tracing_multi_link_release). No other user must mount, open, or otherwise act on attacker-supplied objects.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of a kernel bpf_tramp_image that remains an ftrace direct-call target. That is in-kernel privilege escalation, not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host or IOMMU boundary cross, so scope stays Unchanged.\nC:H - modify_fentry() text-pokes the fentry site to Image B and bpf_tramp_image_put()s Image A; bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() still bpf_tramp_image_put()s Image B in bpf_trampoline_multi_attach_free() after update_ftrace_direct_del/mod fails, so a later call of the hooked function executes freed trampoline memory.\nI:H - The hooked function\u2019s live CALL/JMP still targets the trampoline image bpf_trampoline_multi_attach_free() freed after the failed ftrace update, so reclaiming that JIT page hijacks control flow at the ftrace site (arbitrary kernel write/execute).\nA:H - bpf_trampoline_multi_detach() hits WARN_ON_ONCE(update_ftrace_direct_del()) at trampoline.c:1727 when ftrace\u2019s recorded direct target no longer matches the poked site, and the subsequent jump into the freed bpf_tramp_image oopses or panics."
