Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix UAF in ODP init error-handling path
rxe_odp_mr_init_user() stores &umem_odp->umem in mr->umem before
calling rxe_odp_init_pages(). If rxe_odp_init_pages() fails,
rxe_odp_mr_init_user() releases umem_odp and returns an error.
rxe_reg_user_mr() then unwinds the error through rxe_cleanup(),
rxe_mr_cleanup(), ib_umem_release(mr->umem). There is an
IS_ERR_OR_NULL(umem) check at the start of ib_umem_release().
But since mr->umem is NOT reset to NULL in the error handling
path of rxe_odp_mr_init_user(), the check passes and it reads
already-freed fields like umem->is_dmabuf, causing UAF.
Fix the UAF by clearing mr->umem after releasing the failed
ODP umem so the MR cleanup path does not release it again.
