Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When a tracing instance with the `copy_trace_marker` option is enabled and subsequently deleted, a critical synchronization step is bypassed. This can lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability, which may allow a local attacker to corrupt memory, potentially leading to system instability or arbitrary code execution.
