"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRDMA/core: fix refcount bug in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request()\n\niwpm_get_nlmsg_request() initializes refcount _after_ list_add_tail()\nmaking it accessible to global list where another CPU can kref_get()\non nlmsg_request causing a refcount \"addition on 0\" bug. Fix this\nby initializing kref _before_ list_add_tail() so refcount for\nnlmsg_request can be incremented/decremented normally. In addition,\nalso initialize every field before list_add_tail()."

"value": "AV:L - The triggering input is a forged IWPM reply (e.g. RDMA_NL_IWPM_REG_PID) sent over a local NETLINK_RDMA socket to iwcm_nl_cb_table callbacks, which call iwpm_find_nlmsg_request(). No remote protocol carries it, and rdma_nl_rcv_msg() rejects RDMA_NL_IWCM messages from outside init_net.\nAC:H - The forged reply must land in the few-instruction gap between list_add_tail() and kref_init()/sema_init() in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request(). The host also needs an iWARP device so that iw_cm_map() sends port-mapper requests, and the attacker cannot set that up.\nPR:L - No iwcm_nl_cb_table entry sets RDMA_NL_ADMIN_PERM, and the NETLINK_RDMA socket uses NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_RECV, so an unprivileged user in the initial netns can join RDMA_NL_GROUP_IWPM, read the sequence numbers and send replies. A local login is still needed.\nUI:N - The attacker sends the netlink replies and starts iWARP connection setup without any action from another user.\nS:U - The memory corruption stays inside the kernel's own security authority. No guest/host or IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - kref_init() erases the reference taken by iwpm_find_nlmsg_request(), so the requester's kref_put() in iwpm_wait_complete_req() can free the kmalloc'd iwpm_nlmsg_request while iwpm_register_pid_cb() still uses it. That is a use-after-free that can be reclaimed by sprayed data.\nI:H - After the early free, the callback's up(&nlmsg_request->sem) and the requester's down_timeout() write a semaphore inside a freed and possibly reclaimed slab object. That is a use-after-free write on heap memory.\nA:H - The race fires a refcount_t 'addition on 0' WARN (a panic under panic_on_warn), and the replies can dereference NULL req_buffer in iwpm_register_pid_cb() or touch freed memory, either of which oopses the kernel."
