Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix a use after free in siw_alloc_mr
Our code analyzer reported a UAF.
In siw_alloc_mr(), it calls siw_mr_add_mem(mr,..). In the implementation of
siw_mr_add_mem(), mem is assigned to mr->mem and then mem is freed via
kfree(mem) if xa_alloc_cyclic() failed. Here, mr->mem still point to a
freed object. After, the execution continue up to the err_out branch of
siw_alloc_mr, and the freed mr->mem is used in siw_mr_drop_mem(mr).
My patch moves "mr->mem = mem" behind the if (xa_alloc_cyclic(..)<0) {}
section, to avoid the uaf.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.3 < 5.4.119)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.37)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.11.21)
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.12 < 5.12.4)
