Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kprobes: avoid crash when rmmod/insmod after ftrace killed

After we hit ftrace is killed by some errors, the kernel crash if we remove modules in which kprobe probes.

This is because the kprobe on ftrace does not correctly handles the kprobe_ftrace_disabled flag set by ftrace_kill().

To prevent this error, check kprobe_ftrace_disabled in __disarm_kprobe_ftrace() and skip all ftrace related operations.
