Add MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques that apply to this CVE.

Description

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

blktrace: Fix uaf in blk_trace access after removing by sysfs

There is an use-after-free problem triggered by following process:

  P1(sda)				P2(sdb)
		echo 0 > /sys/block/sdb/trace/enable
		  blk_trace_remove_queue
		    synchronize_rcu
		    blk_trace_free
		      relay_close

rcu_read_lock
__blk_add_trace
trace_note_tsk
(Iterate running_trace_list)

		        relay_close_buf
			  relay_destroy_buf
			    kfree(buf)
trace_note(sdb's bt)
  relay_reserve
    buf->offset <- nullptr deference (use-after-free) !!!

Reproduce method:
ioctl(/dev/sda, BLKTRACESETUP, blk_user_trace_setup[buf_size=127])
ioctl(/dev/sda, BLKTRACESTART)
ioctl(/dev/sdb, BLKTRACESETUP, blk_user_trace_setup[buf_size=127])
ioctl(/dev/sdb, BLKTRACESTART)

echo 0 > /sys/block/sdb/trace/enable &
// Add delay(mdelay/msleep) before kernel enters blk_trace_free()

ioctl$SG_IO(/dev/sda, SG_IO, …)
// Enters trace_note_tsk() after blk_trace_free() returned
// Use mdelay in rcu region rather than msleep(which may schedule out)

Remove blk_trace from running_list before calling blk_trace_free() by
sysfs if blk_trace is at Blktrace_running state.
