What it is

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

kprobes: Fix possible use-after-free issue on kprobe registration

When unloading a module, its state is changing MODULE_STATE_LIVE ->

MODULE_STATE_GOING -> MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. Each change will take

a time. `is_module_text_address()` and `__module_text_address()`

works with MODULE_STATE_LIVE and MODULE_STATE_GOING.

If we use `is_module_text_address()` and `__module_text_address()`

separately, there is a chance that the first one is succeeded but the

next one is failed because module->state becomes MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED

between those operations.

In `check_kprobe_address_safe()`, if the second `__module_text_address()`

is failed, that is ignored because it expected a kernel_text address.

But it may have failed simply because module->state has been changed

to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED. In this case, arm_kprobe() will try to modify

non-exist module text address (use-after-free).

To fix this problem, we should not use separated `is_module_text_address()`

and `__module_text_address()`, but use only `__module_text_address()`

once and do `try_module_get(module)` which is only available with

MODULE_STATE_LIVE.
