"lang": "en",
"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRDMA/rxe: Fix race in do_task() when draining\n\nWhen do_task() exhausts its iteration budget (!ret), it sets the state\nto TASK_STATE_IDLE to reschedule, without a secondary check on the\ncurrent task->state. This can overwrite the TASK_STATE_DRAINING state\nset by a concurrent call to rxe_cleanup_task() or rxe_disable_task().\n\nWhile state changes are protected by a spinlock, both rxe_cleanup_task()\nand rxe_disable_task() release the lock while waiting for the task to\nfinish draining in the while(!is_done(task)) loop. The race occurs if\ndo_task() hits its iteration limit and acquires the lock in this window.\nThe cleanup logic may then proceed while the task incorrectly\nreschedules itself, leading to a potential use-after-free.\n\nThis bug was introduced during the migration from tasklets to workqueues,\nwhere the special handling for the draining case was lost.\n\nFix this by restoring the original pre-migration behavior. If the state is\nTASK_STATE_DRAINING when iterations are exhausted, set cont to 1 to\nforce a new loop iteration. This allows the task to finish its work, so\nthat a subsequent iteration can reach the switch statement and correctly\ntransition the state to TASK_STATE_DRAINED, stopping the task as intended."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - Both sides of the race are driven through local verbs calls on /dev/infiniband/uverbsN — posting work requests to exhaust the 1024-iteration budget and concurrently issuing modify_qp(RESET)/destroy_qp. Remote RoCE packets can feed the responder task, but the draining half (rxe_disable_task/rxe_cleanup_task) is only reachable from a local ioctl/write on the uverbs device.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both racers: one thread posts more than RXE_MAX_ITERATIONS work items so do_task deterministically hits the `!ret` branch, while another thread calls modify_qp(RESET) or destroy_qp to set TASK_STATE_DRAINING. The window can be retried unboundedly across many QPs and widened with CPU contention, so no condition lies outside the attacker's influence.\nPR:L - The kernel's uverbs_devnode() publishes /dev/infiniband/uverbsN with mode 0666, so any unprivileged local account can allocate a PD/CQ/QP and drive the race with no capabilities. Only the one-time creation of the rdma_rxe link requires CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is administrator setup rather than a privilege the attacker must hold.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step itself from its own process; no victim action, mount, or file open is involved.\nS:U - The corruption is confined to kernel objects owned by the same kernel security authority (rxe QP, queues, CQs, MRs); no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Clobbering DRAINING lets a work item run rxe_responder/rxe_requester against a QP whose send/receive queues have been vfree'd or memset and whose MRs and CQs have been put, giving use-after-free reads of freed kernel memory that are copied into userspace-mapped completion queues and onto the wire.\nI:H - The same use-after-free is a write primitive: the re-scheduled responder writes CQ entries, WQE state, and RDMA payloads into freed queue and MR memory, and duplicated rxe_put() calls underflow object refcounts, enabling heap grooming toward control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The race trips WARN_ON(task->num_done != task->num_sched) and dereferences freed rxe_queue, CQ, MR, and socket objects, reliably producing an oops or panic and taking down the machine."
