Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-28 12:30 – Updated: 2026-05-28 12:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/mlx5: Fix error path fall-through in mlx5_ib_dev_res_srq_init()

mlx5_ib_dev_res_srq_init() allocates two SRQs, s0 and s1. When ib_create_srq() fails for s1, the error branch destroys s0 but falls through and unconditionally assigns the freed s0 and the ERR_PTR s1 to devr->s0 and devr->s1.

This leads to several problems: the lock-free fast path checks "if (devr->s1) return 0;" and treats the ERR_PTR as already initialised; users in mlx5_ib_create_qp() dereference the freed SRQ or ERR_PTR via to_msrq(devr->s0)->msrq.srqn; and mlx5_ib_dev_res_cleanup() dereferences the ERR_PTR and double-frees s0 on teardown.

Fix by adding the same goto unlock in the s1 failure path.
