In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Clear association under lock if siw_qp_modify fails in siw_accept
We need to clear cep before release state_lock as siw_qp_llp_close and
siw_qp_modify->siw_qp_llp_close did.
Otherwise if siw_qp_modify() fails in siw_accept(), the QP's state_lock
is released before the error path cleanup. A concurrent ibv_modify_qp()
transitioning the QP to ERROR can race in this window:
siw_accept() ibv_modify_qp(ERROR)
---------------------- ----------------------
siw_qp_modify() fails
up_write(&qp->state_lock)
down_write(&qp->state_lock)
nextstate_from_idle():
if (qp->cep)
siw_cep_put(qp->cep) <- frees cep
qp->cep = NULL
goto error
cep->qp = NULL <- UAF
Clear qp->cep and drop the association reference taken by siw_cep_get(),
all under the write lock held from the initial down_write(&qp->state_lock).
Thread B therefore sees qp->cep == NULL, skips its own put, and cannot free
the cep before siw_accept() is done with it.
SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
A fix is available. Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (no CISA value, KEV listing or exploit code on record) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse". CISA's decision table
BOD 26-04 (CISA's remediation timeline, Table 1)14 days if the affected system is publicly exposed; Fix on system upgrade if it is not.
In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA's BOD 26-04 default) · Technical impact total (CISA's BOD 26-04 default). Where an input reads “CISA's BOD 26-04 default”, no one has published it for this CVE, and CISA's implementation guidance says: “If “Automatable” and “Technical Impact” information items about a CVE ID are not available and the CVE ID is not in the KEV Catalog, CISA will treat its values as “no” and “total,” respectively, until CISA or a third party provides metadata about the CVE ID. CISA will always provide the Vulnrichment data for a CVE ID listed in the KEV Catalog.” Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
