The patch titled Subject: lib: prevent module unloading if memory is not freed has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is lib-prevent-module-unloading-if-memory-is-not-freed.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/lib-prevent-module-unloading-if-memory-is-not-freed.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib: prevent module unloading if memory is not freed Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2024 09:36:34 -0700 Skip freeing module's data section if there are non-zero allocation tags because otherwise, once these allocations are freed, the access to their code tag would cause UAF.
