"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxprtrdma: Fix ep kref imbalance on ADDR_CHANGE\n\nrpcrdma_cm_event_handler() falls through to the disconnected: label\non RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE and calls rpcrdma_ep_put() with no\nmatching get when the event arrives before RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED.\nThe kref then underflows during connect teardown and\nrpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() operates on a freed ep.\n\nReference counts across a normal connection lifecycle:\n\n rpcrdma_ep_create() kref_init ->1\n rpcrdma_xprt_connect() ep_get ->2 (before post_recvs)\n RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED ep_get ->3\n RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED ep_put ->2\n rpcrdma_xprt_drain() ep_put ->1\n rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() tail ep_put ->0 (ep_destroy)\n\nThe connect-time get in rpcrdma_xprt_connect(), taken just before\nrpcrdma_post_recvs() \"while there are outstanding Receives,\" is\nbalanced by rpcrdma_xprt_drain. ADDR_CHANGE before ESTABLISHED has\nno get to consume, so its put drops the count to 1 and the drain\nput then frees the ep while rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() still holds a\npointer to it.\n\nFix by dispatching on the prior re_connect_status via xchg(): for\nprev == 0 (pre-ESTABLISHED) wake the connect waiter and return with\nno put; for prev == 1 call rpcrdma_force_disconnect() and return.\nThe case-1 arm relies on the subsequent RDMA_CM_EVENT_DISCONNECTED\nevent -- reliably delivered when rdma_disconnect() is called on a\nstill-connected cm_id -- to balance the ESTABLISHED get;\nrpcrdma_xprt_drain() continues to balance only that connect-time\nget. Any other prior value means teardown is already in flight."

"value": "AV:A - The bug is in the NFS/RPC-over-RDMA client reached during RDMA CM connect/reconnect to a remote server; ADDR_CHANGE is delivered on bonded RoCE/IB netdev failover on the storage network segment, a plausible adjacent-network trigger in HPC and cloud NFS-over-RDMA deployments.\nAC:L - Once NFS-over-RDMA is in use, an attacker can reliably drive repeated reconnect attempts and time or induce bonding failover so ADDR_CHANGE arrives pre-ESTABLISHED; the resulting kref underflow and UAF are deterministic, not a probabilistic memory-layout race.\nPR:N - Exploitation requires no privileges on the victim host—only that NFS-over-RDMA is configured and reconnects occur—while an adjacent attacker or malicious storage peer can provoke link failover and connection churn without authenticating to the victim system.\nUI:N - No victim user interaction is required beyond normal automated NFS-over-RDMA client reconnect activity already performed by the kernel when links fail or sessions drop.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and potential local privilege escalation within the same kernel security domain, not a cross-boundary escape such as VM guest-to-host or IOMMU bypass.\nC:H - Premature free of rpcrdma_ep leaves dangling pointers used in rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect (rdma_disconnect, ib_drain_rq/sq), a classic kernel heap UAF that can be leveraged for arbitrary memory disclosure via controlled reuse of the freed endpoint object.\nI:H - Teardown continues to operate on the freed endpoint and associated RDMA/IB state, enabling heap corruption and potential arbitrary kernel write or control-flow hijack, not merely a benign NULL dereference crash.\nA:H - The kref imbalance causes premature endpoint destruction during disconnect teardown, which can trigger kernel oops/panic from use-after-free even when exploitation for code execution is not attempted."
