  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nRDMA/rxe: Fix double free in rxe_srq_from_init\nIn rxe_srq_from_init(), the queue pointer 'q' is assigned to\n'srq->rq.queue' before copying the SRQ number to user space.\nIf copy_to_user() fails, the function calls rxe_queue_cleanup()\nto free the queue, but leaves the now-invalid pointer in\n'srq->rq.queue'.\nThe caller of rxe_srq_from_init() (rxe_create_srq) eventually\ncalls rxe_srq_cleanup() upon receiving the error, which triggers\na second rxe_queue_cleanup() on the same memory, leading to a\ndouble free.\nThe call trace looks like this:\nkmem_cache_free+0x.../0x...\nrxe_queue_cleanup+0x1a/0x30 [rdma_rxe]\nrxe_srq_cleanup+0x42/0x60 [rdma_rxe]\nrxe_elem_release+0x31/0x70 [rdma_rxe]\nrxe_create_srq+0x12b/0x1a0 [rdma_rxe]\nib_create_srq_user+0x9a/0x150 [ib_core]\nFix this by moving 'srq->rq.queue = q' after copy_to_user.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) subsystem, specifically within the `rxe` driver. An error in the `rxe_srq_from_init` function's memory management can lead to a double free vulnerability. This occurs when an attempt to copy data to user space fails, causing the same memory region to be freed twice. A local attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the system." ],
