"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRDMA/uverbs: Validate wqe_size before using it in ib_uverbs_post_send\n\nib_uverbs_post_send() uses cmd.wqe_size from userspace without any\nvalidation before passing it to kmalloc() and using the allocated\nbuffer as struct ib_uverbs_send_wr.\n\nIf a user provides a small wqe_size value (e.g., 1), kmalloc() will\nsucceed, but subsequent accesses to user_wr->opcode, user_wr->num_sge,\nand other fields will read beyond the allocated buffer, resulting in\nan out-of-bounds read from kernel heap memory. This could potentially\nleak sensitive kernel information to userspace.\n\nAdditionally, providing an excessively large wqe_size can trigger a\nWARNING in the memory allocation path, as reported by syzkaller.\n\nThis is inconsistent with ib_uverbs_unmarshall_recv() which properly\nvalidates that wqe_size >= sizeof(struct ib_uverbs_recv_wr) before\nproceeding.\n\nAdd the same validation for ib_uverbs_post_send() to ensure wqe_size\nis at least sizeof(struct ib_uverbs_send_wr)."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable code is reached via write() on the local RDMA uverbs character device (/dev/infiniband/uverbs*) dispatched through UAPI_DEF_WRITE_IO; it is not reachable over any network.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls cmd.wqe_size and can reliably trigger the OOB read by simply setting wqe_size=1 (or the WARN with a huge value); no uncontrolled conditions are involved.\nPR:L - An unprivileged local user with access to the RDMA uverbs device (the normal case on RDMA-enabled systems, and obtainable via Soft-RoCE) can open a context, create a QP, and issue POST_SEND; no real-root privilege is required.\nUI:N - The command is issued directly by the attacker via a syscall; no action by any other user is needed.\nS:U - The OOB read and resulting impact remain within the kernel's own security authority; no crossing of a security boundary (VM/IOMMU/sandbox) occurs.\nC:H - The bug reads ~48 bytes of kernel heap memory beyond the undersized allocation, and the leaked values (e.g. wr_id) are returned to userspace via completion polling, giving a repeatable kernel-heap information disclosure.\nI:N - The defect is purely an out-of-bounds read; num_sge is bounded by the sge_count check, so no kernel memory is modified and there is no write primitive.\nA:H - An excessively large wqe_size triggers a WARNING in the allocator (syzkaller-reported), which becomes a kernel panic under the common panic_on_warn hardening, causing denial of service."
