      <title>CVE-2025-38539 — tracing: Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace event</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38539</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tracing: Add down_write(trace_event_sem) when adding trace event&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When a module is loaded, it adds trace events defined by the module. It
may also need to modify the modules trace printk formats to replace enum
names with their values.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If two modules are loaded at the same time, the adding of the event to the
ftrace_events list can corrupt the walking of the list in the code that is
modifying the printk format strings and crash the kernel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The addition of the event should take the trace_event_sem for write while
it adds the new event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also add a lockdep_assert_held() on that semaphore in
__trace_add_event_dirs() as it iterates the list.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
