"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nrds: ib: use rds_conn_drop() on protocol version mismatch\n\nrds_ib_cm_connect_complete() runs from the RDMA-CM event handler with\nconn->c_cm_lock held. When the peer negotiates a protocol version\nolder than RDS_PROTOCOL_COMPAT_VERSION, the handler calls\nrds_conn_destroy(), which is only safe in the rmmod path: it\nsynchronously tears the connection down and flush_work()es the\nshutdown work cp_down_w.\n\nThat shutdown work (rds_conn_shutdown()) needs cp_cm_lock, which is\nthe very lock the event handler still holds, so the flush never\ncompletes: the two workers wait on each other and the RDS connection\nworkqueues stall for good.\n\nAll other RDMA-CM failure paths (REJECTED, CONNECT_ERROR,\nDISCONNECTED) use rds_conn_drop(), which marks the connection\nRDS_CONN_ERROR and schedules the shutdown work asynchronously. Use\nit here as well."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The bad input is dp_protocol_major/minor in the peer's RDMA-CM REP private data, which rds_ib_cm_connect_complete() reads on RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED from rds_rdma_cm_event_handler_cmn(). RDS/IB runs over RoCEv2, whose CM messages travel over routable UDP/IP, so a remote peer supplies the version that hits the rds_conn_destroy() branch.\nAC:L - The attacker produces the active-side state: connect to the RDS listener, then disconnect. IB has no lower-address rule in rds_queue_reconnect(), so the hashed conn reconnects to the attacker, who replies with version 3.0. The deadlock then fires every time.\nPR:N - RDS/IB connection setup has no authentication. rds_ib_cm_handle_connect() only checks the protocol version from the request, and the REP private data the fix concerns is taken from the peer as-is.\nUI:N - No local user action is needed. The victim kernel's own reconnect worker (rds_connect_worker via rds_queue_reconnect) starts the outgoing connection after the attacker drops the first one.\nS:U - The impact is a deadlock inside the same kernel that processes the RDMA-CM event. No VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:N - rds_conn_destroy() blocks in flush_work(&cp->cp_down_w) before it reaches kmem_cache_free(), so the conn is never freed and then used. No memory is disclosed.\nI:N - No memory is corrupted. The fault is a lock-ordering deadlock between the CM handler holding c_cm_lock and rds_conn_shutdown() waiting for it, not a write to freed or out-of-bounds memory.\nA:H - The RDMA-CM event worker blocks forever in flush_work() while holding c_cm_lock, and the RDS shutdown work blocks on mutex_lock(&cp->cp_cm_lock). This stalls the RDS connection workqueues and CM event handling for good, and the attacker can repeat it against new connections."
