CVE-2024-35955

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's kprobes functionality, where a use-after-free issue could occur during kprobe registration when unloading a module. The problem arises due to the module's state changing from MODULE_STATE_LIVE to MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED between two address checks (is_module_text_address() and __module_text_address()). This can result in a failed address check and the attempt to modify a non-existent module text address, leading to a use-after-free.
