Title
RDMA/irdma: Prevent rereg_mr for non-mem regions
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Prevent rereg_mr for non-mem regions When a QP/CQ/SRQ is created, a two step process is used where the buffer is allocated in userspace and explicitly registered with the normal reg_mr mechanism prior to creating the actual QP/CQ/SRQ object. These special registrations are indicated via an ABI field so the driver knows that they do not have a valid mkey and to skip the actual CQP command submission. Since these are real MR objects from the core's perspective, it is possible for a user application to invoke rereg_mr on them and cause a real CQP op to be emitted with the zero-initialized mkey value of 0. Fix this by preventing rereg_mr on these special regions.

The resulting corrupt hardware STAG can later be abused over RDMA, but initial access is local.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls every precondition: register a buffer with reg_type IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_QP/CQ/SRQ, then call rereg_mr on that handle. There is no race, no timing dependency and no reliance on memory layout the attacker cannot influence.\nPR:L - Only an open file descriptor on /dev/infiniband/uverbsN is needed; rdma-core udev rules ship these nodes world-accessible (0666) and they are routinely exposed to containers. ib_uverbs_rereg_mr() performs no capability check, only uobject ownership of the caller\u0027s own MR.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence (reg_mr with a non-MEM reg_type, then rereg_mr) from its own process. No action by any other user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The corruption stays within the kernel/RDMA-device security authority managed by the same OS instance; there is no VM, IOMMU or hypervisor boundary crossed by the erroneous CQP command.\nC:H - Programming HW STAG index 0 with attacker-chosen remote-read rights, combined with dereg_mr never invalidating it, leaves a live hardware mapping over PBLEs and umem pages that are freed and reused, giving RDMA-read access to recycled kernel/other-process memory; it can also collide with another process\u0027s MR at stag index 0.\nI:H - The same stale/hijacked STAG can carry IB_ACCESS_REMOTE_WRITE, and the IB_MR_REREG_TRANS path frees the PBLEs and releases the umem of a live QP/CQ/SRQ while hardware keeps DMAing into those pages, yielding device-driven writes into freed and reallocated kernel memory.\nA:H - Issuing a CQP op with a zero mkey corrupts device state and can fail the CQP op, triggering the driver\u0027s reset path; the DMA-after-free into recycled pages and the clobbering of another region\u0027s STAG readily produce kernel memory corruption, oops or full RDMA device reset."
