  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  ftrace: Fix use-after-free for dynamic ftrace_ops  KASAN reported a use-after-free with ftrace ops [1]. It was found from vmcore that perf had registered two ops with the same content successively, both dynamic. After unregistering the second ops, a use-after-free occurred.  In ftrace_shutdown(), when the second ops is unregistered, the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS command is not set because there is another enabled ops with the same content.  Also, both ops are dynamic and the ftrace callback function is ftrace_ops_list_func, so the FTRACE_UPDATE_TRACE_FUNC command will not be set. Eventually the value of \u0027command\u0027 will be 0 and ftrace_shutdown() will skip the rcu synchronization.  However, ftrace may be activated. When the ops is released, another CPU may be accessing the ops.  Add the missing synchronization to fix this problem.
