CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's RDMA/irdma component, specifically during the memory registration process for completion queues (CQs). An out-of-bounds read can occur due to improper handling of the cqmr->split field, potentially leading to memory corruption or information leakage on systems using GEN_2 hardware and later. Organizations utilizing affected Linux kernel versions with RDMA capabilities should prioritize applying the patch to mitigate this risk.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix OOB read during CQ MR registration Sashiko pointed out an unrelated bug during a previous patch: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260512183852.614045-1-jmoroni%40google.com This change fixes the bug by eliminating the cqmr->split field which was not being set properly and instead just checks the CQ resize feature flag directly. The cqmr->split field essentially tracks whether IRDMA_FEATURE_CQ_RESIZE is set, but it was not being set until CQ creation time, which is _after_ CQ memory registration (the only other place where it is referenced). As a result, it would always be false during MR registration and would therefore cause irdma_handle_q_mem to populate cqmr->shadow even for GEN_2 HW and beyond: cqmr->shadow = (dma_addr_t)arr[req->cq_pages]; The issue is that for GEN_2 and beyond, req->cq_pages may be exactly equal to iwmr->page_cnt and therefore equal to the size of arr, which would cause an OOB read by one.
