CVE-2024-56675 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel BPF tracing subsystem. Uprobes execute attached programs through bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() while protected by tasks-trace-RCU. However, non-sleepable BPF programs may be attached to uprobes and released through normal RCU by __bpf_prog_put_noref(). Completion of a normal RCU grace period does not guarantee completion of a tasks-trace-RCU grace period, allowing an uprobe execution path to access a freed bpf_prog. The upstream fix explicitly waits for a tasks-trace-RCU grace period after removing a BPF-program attachment from a perf event.

Linux kernel BPF use-after-free vulnerability.
Linux kernel BPF use-after-free vulnerability involving mismatched RCU handling.
A Linux kernel eBPF use-after-free vulnerability caused by a mismatch between normal RCU cleanup of non-sleepable BPF programs and tasks-trace-RCU protection used for uprobe execution. A BPF program attached to a perf event could be freed before the relevant tasks-trace-RCU grace period completed.
A Linux kernel eBPF use-after-free vulnerability caused by mismatched RCU protection for non-sleepable BPF programs attached to uprobes. The flaw may affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Red Hat rates it Moderate (CVSS 6.7) because its default RHEL kernel configuration disables unprivileged eBPF, requiring CAP_SYS_ADMIN or root to exploit.
