After irdma_get_pbl binds an IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_QP/CQ/SRQ ring MR to a live QP/CQ/SRQ, irdma_dereg_mr still frees it; no iWARP/RoCE message supplies that deregistration.\nAC:L - The attacker drives every step with no race: irdma_reg_user_mr with reg_type QP/CQ/SRQ, then irdma_setup_umode_qp/irdma_create_cq/irdma_setup_umode_srq so irdma_get_pbl sets on_list=false, then irdma_dereg_mr. Pre-fix irdma_del_memlist is a no-op on an already-associated ring, so the free is deterministic.\nPR:L - ib_uverbs_open() only checks rdma_dev_access_netns() (devices shared across netns by default) and ib_uverbs_dereg_mr() only requires ownership of the caller\u0027s MR uobject, with no capability gate. rdma-core udev rules expose uverbs as 0666; a small ring fits unprivileged RLIMIT_MEMLOCK without CAP_IPC_LOCK.\nUI:N - The attacker registers the ring MR via ib_uverbs_reg_mr, creates the QP/CQ/SRQ, and issues IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_DEREG_MR on that handle from their own process; no other user must mount a device, open a file, or otherwise act.\nS:U - irdma_dereg_mr kfree()s the irdma_mr and releases its umem/HMC PBLEs while the same host\u0027s QP/CQ/SRQ still holds iwpbl and the NIC still DMAs those rings. That is host-kernel memory corruption, not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU isolation bypass.\nC:H - irdma_dereg_mr calls ib_umem_release, irdma_free_pble, and kfree(iwmr) while hardware still walks those HMC PBLEs and DMA-reads SQ/RQ/CQ rings. Recycled umem pages and PBLE tables yield device DMA reads of kernel or other-process memory, and iwqp/iwcq-\u003eiwpbl dangles into the freed irdma_mr.\nI:H - The NIC keeps DMAing CQEs/WQEs into unpinned, reallocatable ring pages and walking freed PBLE page tables, producing device writes into recycled kernel memory. Combined with the irdma_mr heap UAF (struct irdma_pbl iwpbl is embedded in iwmr), this is an arbitrary-write primitive.\nA:H - kfree of a still-referenced irdma_mr, irdma_free_pble of live HMC page tables, and DMA into unmapped SQ/RQ/CQ pages cause a kernel oops/panic or an irdma CQP/device reset when the QP/CQ/SRQ is next used or destroyed."
