In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF
In the unlikely event that workqueue allocation fails and returns NULL in
mlx5_mkey_cache_init(), delete the call to
mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() (which frees the QP) in
mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init(). This will avoid attempted double
free of the same QP when __mlx5_ib_add() does its cleanup.
Resolves a splat:
Syzkaller reported a UAF in ib_destroy_qp_user
workqueue: Failed to create a rescuer kthread for wq "mkey_cache": -EINTR
infiniband mlx5_0: mlx5_mkey_cache_init:981:(pid 1642):
failed to create work queue
infiniband mlx5_0: mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init:4075:(pid 1642):
mr cache init failed -12
