Summary

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel RDMA/erdma driver. The AE QP fatal event and iWARP CM paths load QP pointers from dev->qp_xa and use them outside the xarray lock, so erdma_destroy_qp() can free QP resources while such a lookup is in flight. The fix adds erdma_qp_get_by_qpn() to acquire a kref under the xarray lock and removes the QP from the xarray before dropping the destroy-path reference.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to use-after-free, resulting in kernel instability, system crash, or potential code execution in kernel context. It affects systems using the erdma RDMA driver.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the RDMA/erdma fix. Until patched, consider limiting use of the affected RDMA driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
