CVE-2025-37845 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tracing: fprobe events: Fix possible UAF on modules

Commit ac91052f0ae5 ( racing: tprobe-events: Fix leakage of module refcount) moved try_module_get() from __find_tracepoint_module_cb() to find_tracepoint() caller but that introduced a possible UAF because the module can be unloaded before try_module_get(). In this case the module object should be freed too. Thus try_module_get() does not only fail but may access to the freed object.

To avoid that try_module_get() in __find_tracepoint_module_cb() again.
