Severity ?
7.8 (High) - CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/erdma: Hold QP references for AE and CM processing AE QP fatal events and iWARP CM paths load QPs from dev->qp_xa and then use or reference them outside the xarray lock. erdma_destroy_qp() can drop the destroy-path reference and free QP resources while such a lookup is in flight. Add erdma_qp_get_by_qpn() to acquire a kref under the xarray lock with kref_get_unless_zero(). Remove the QP from the xarray before dropping the destroy-path reference so no new lookup can acquire it while destruction waits for existing users.

The CM QPN is rdma_ucm_conn_param.qp_num, not a remote iWARP/RoCE field.\nAC:L - The attacker who created the QP drives both sides: one thread issues ucma_connect()/ucma_accept() or QP ops that produce an AEQE, while another calls ib_uverbs_destroy_qp(), racing find_qp_by_qpn()/xa_load against the destroy-path erdma_qp_put(). The window (bare xa_load, then kref_get or no get at all) can be retried across many QPs.\nPR:L - ib_uverbs_open() and ucma_open() perform no capability check; uverbs_devnode() and ucma_misc.mode publish /dev/infiniband/uverbs* and /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm as 0666, so an unprivileged user on an ERDMA host can create_qp, RDMA_USER_CM_CONNECT/ACCEPT, and destroy_qp.\nUI:N - The attacker creates the QP via uverbs, issues ucma_connect()/ucma_accept() (or generates an AEQE) and ib_uverbs_destroy_qp() from their own processes; no other user must mount, open, or otherwise act.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of the host kernel\u0027s struct erdma_qp (kref, ibqp.event_handler, queue buffers) under the same kernel authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or guest-host boundary.\nC:H - After erdma_destroy_qp() drops the last kref and the RDMA core frees the QP, erdma_aeq_event_handler() still reads qp-\u003eibqp.event_handler and qp_context from the freed object, and erdma_connect() may kref_get a freed QP; a sprayed replacement yields a kernel-memory read primitive.\nI:H - erdma_aeq_event_handler() invokes qp-\u003eibqp.event_handler on the freed erdma_qp, and erdma_connect()/erdma_accept() write qp-\u003ecep and take qp-\u003estate_lock after a lockless xa_load; reclaiming that object gives a function-pointer call and kernel writes.\nA:H - Using the QP after erdma_qp_put()/wait_for_completion() has released its queues and the ib_qp object causes a kernel oops or panic in erdma_aeq_event_handler() or in erdma_connect()/erdma_accept()."
