Title
smb: smbdirect: free completion queues with ib_free_cq()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: smbdirect: free completion queues with ib_free_cq() smbdirect_connection_destroy_qp() creates the send and receive completion queues with ib_alloc_cq_any(), which for IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE arms an internal completion handler that runs ib_cq_poll_work() on a workqueue. Tearing those CQs down with ib_destroy_cq() frees them without first cancelling that poll work. If the provider posts a completion late -- for example Soft-RoCE (rxe) posting an RNR error from rxe_receiver() after rdma_destroy_qp() -- the handler re-queues ib_cq_poll_work() on the already-freed CQ, and a follow-on access faults in rxe_req_notify_cq(). Use ib_free_cq(), which cancel_work_sync()es the poll work before freeing the CQ, so no completion handler can run against a freed queue.

Connection teardown through __ksmbd_conn_release_work() likewise needs no credentials.\nUI:N - The attacker alone sends the RDMA CM CONNECT_REQUEST to the ksmbd listener started by smb_direct_listen() and later drops that connection so ksmbd_conn_handler_loop() calls smbdirect_connection_destroy_qp(); no local user mount, click, or prompt is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free is of the kernel struct ib_cq allocated by __ib_alloc_cq() and later touched by ib_cq_poll_work() on the same host; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - ib_cq_poll_work() reads a kmalloc-freed struct ib_cq (cq-\u003ewc and cq-\u003edevice) after ib_destroy_cq_user(); reclaiming that slab object lets the attacker supply a fake ib_device and obtain a kernel read primitive through the poll/notify path.\nI:H - The same reclaimed ib_cq is used as cq-\u003edevice-\u003eops.poll_cq and req_notify_cq from ib_cq_poll_work(), so a sprayed fake ops table yields a kernel function-pointer hijack, not merely a crash.\nA:H - The demonstrated KASAN use-after-free in ib_cq_poll_work() and the follow-on oops in rxe_req_notify_cq() crash the kernel; a remote peer can repeat connect-and-teardown against the ksmbd SMB Direct listener."

Taxonomy of the tags.




Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Sightings

Author Source Type Date Other

Nomenclature

  • Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
  • Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
  • Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
  • Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
  • Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
  • Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.

How durations are calculated

Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.

Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
