CVE-2024-26703
Disclosure Date: April 03, 2024 (last updated April 04, 2024)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/timerlat: Move hrtimer_init to timerlat_fd open()
Currently, the timerlat's hrtimer is initialized at the first read of
timerlat_fd, and destroyed at close(). It works, but it causes an error
if the user program open() and close() the file without reading.
Here's an example:
# echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/osnoise/options
# echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# cat <<EOF > ./timerlat_load.py
# !/usr/bin/env python3
timerlat_fd = open("/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu0/timerlat_fd", 'r')
timerlat_fd.close();
EOF
# ./taskset -c 0 ./timerlat_load.py
<BOOM>
