This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled RDMA/siw: Fix a use after free in siw_alloc_mr to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: rdma-siw-fix-a-use-after-free-in-siw_alloc_mr.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 44e801a4038e994371e0f7f36f97c33b08d670ac Author: Lv Yunlong <lyl2019@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Apr 25 18:16:47 2021 -0700 RDMA/siw: Fix a use after free in siw_alloc_mr [ Upstream commit 3093ee182f01689b89e9f8797b321603e5de4f63 ] Our code analyzer reported a UAF. In siw_alloc_mr(), it calls siw_mr_add_mem(mr,..). In the implementation of siw_mr_add_mem(), mem is assigned to mr->mem and then mem is freed via kfree(mem) if xa_alloc_cyclic() failed. Here, mr->mem still point to a freed object. After, the execution continue up to the err_out branch of siw_alloc_mr, and the freed mr->mem is used in siw_mr_drop_mem(mr). My patch moves "mr->mem = mem" behind the if (xa_alloc_cyclic(..)<0) {} section, to avoid the uaf.
