Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
RDMA/rxe: Fix double free in rxe_srq_from_init<br />
<br />
In rxe_srq_from_init(), the queue pointer &#39;q&#39; is assigned to<br />
&#39;srq->rq.queue&#39; before copying the SRQ number to user space.<br />
If copy_to_user() fails, the function calls rxe_queue_cleanup()<br />
to free the queue, but leaves the now-invalid pointer in<br />
&#39;srq->rq.queue&#39;.<br />
<br />
The caller of rxe_srq_from_init() (rxe_create_srq) eventually<br />
calls rxe_srq_cleanup() upon receiving the error, which triggers<br />
a second rxe_queue_cleanup() on the same memory, leading to a<br />
double free.<br />
<br />
The call trace looks like this:<br />
kmem_cache_free+0x.../0x...<br />
rxe_queue_cleanup+0x1a/0x30 [rdma_rxe]<br />
rxe_srq_cleanup+0x42/0x60 [rdma_rxe]<br />
rxe_elem_release+0x31/0x70 [rdma_rxe]<br />
rxe_create_srq+0x12b/0x1a0 [rdma_rxe]<br />
ib_create_srq_user+0x9a/0x150 [ib_core]<br />
<br />
Fix this by moving &#39;srq->rq.queue = q&#39; after copy_to_user.
