In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Ensure rdma_addr_cancel() happens before issuing more requests
The FSM can run in a circle allowing rdma_resolve_ip() to be called twice on the same id_priv. While this cannot happen without going through the work, it violates the invariant that the same address resolution background request cannot be active twice.
CPU 1 CPU 2
rdma_resolve_addr(): RDMA_CM_IDLE -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY rdma_resolve_ip(addr_handler) #1
process_one_req(): for #1
addr_handler():
RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND
mutex_unlock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);
[.. handler still running ..]
rdma_resolve_addr(): RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY rdma_resolve_ip(addr_handler) !! two requests are now on the req_list
rdma_destroy_id(): destroy_id_handler_unlock(): _destroy_id(): cma_cancel_operation(): rdma_addr_cancel()
// process_one_req() self removes it
spin_lock_bh(&lock);
cancel_delayed_work(&req->work);
if (!list_empty(&req->list)) == true
! rdma_addr_cancel() returns after process_on_req #1 is done
kfree(id_priv)
process_one_req(): for #2
addr_handler():
mutex_lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);
!! Use after free on id_priv
rdma_addr_cancel() expects there to be one req on the list and only cancels the first one. The self-removal behavior of the work only happens after the handler has returned. This yields a situations where the req_list can have two reqs for the same "handle" but rdma_addr_cancel() only cancels the first one.
The second req remains active beyond rdma_destroy_id() and will use-after-free id_priv once it inevitably triggers.
Fix this by remembering if the id_priv has called rdma_resolve_ip() and always cancel before calling it again. This ensures the req_list never gets more than one item in it and doesn't cost anything in the normal flow that never uses this strange error path.
