Summary

In the Linux kernel svcrdma module, when handling an ADDR_CHANGE event the replacement connection ID (cm_id) allocation fails, sc_cm_id still points to the old cm_id that the CM core is about to destroy. Any later dereference of sc_cm_id, such as the rdma_disconnect() call in svc_rdma_detach(), results in a use-after-free.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to a use-after-free, causing a kernel panic or potentially kernel code execution. It affects servers running RDMA-based NFS/RPC services.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that NULLs sc_cm_id on the failure path and guards the rdma_disconnect() call against NULL.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: Clear sc_cm_id when ADDR_CHANGE replacement fails When svc_rdma_listen_handler() handles RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE, it creates a replacement listener cm_id and returns 1, telling the CM core to destroy the old one. If the replacement allocation fails, sc_cm_id still points at the old cm_id that the CM core is about to destroy. Any subsequent dereference of sc_cm_id -- such as svc_rdma_detach()'s rdma_disconnect() call -- is a use-after-free. NULL sc_cm_id on the failure path and guard svc_rdma_detach()'s rdma_disconnect() call against NULL so that the listener can be torn down safely when the server shuts down.
