In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix "kernel NULL pointer dereference" error
When rxe_queue_init in the function rxe_qp_init_req fails,
both qp->req.task.func and qp->req.task.arg are not initialized.
Because of creation of qp fails, the function rxe_create_qp will
call rxe_qp_do_cleanup to handle allocated resource.
Before calling __rxe_do_task, both qp->req.task.func and
qp->req.task.arg should be checked.
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the RXE (Soft-RoCE) RDMA driver in the Linux kernel. When rxe_queue_init() fails during queue pair initialization in rxe_qp_init_req(), the task function and argument pointers (qp->req.task.func and qp->req.task.arg) remain uninitialized. The cleanup function rxe_qp_do_cleanup() then attempts to use these uninitialized pointers when calling __rxe_do_task(), causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference.
Отчет
This is a NULL pointer dereference in the Soft-RoCE RDMA driver that can cause a kernel crash. The vulnerability requires local access and the ability to create RDMA queue pairs, limiting the attack surface to users with RDMA access.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the rdma_rxe module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module.
