Descriptions

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

IB/mlx5: Fix init stage error handling to avoid double free of same QP and UAF

In the unlikely event that workqueue allocation fails and returns NULL in
mlx5_mkey_cache_init(), delete the call to
mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() (which frees the QP) in
mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init(). This will avoid attempted double
free of the same QP when __mlx5_ib_add() does its cleanup.

Resolves a splat:

Syzkaller reported a UAF in ib_destroy_qp_user

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: IB/mlx5: corrige el manejo de errores de la etapa inicial para evitar la doble liberación del mismo QP y UAF. En el improbable caso de que la asignación de la cola de trabajo falle y devuelva NULL en mlx5_mkey_cache_init(), elimine la llamada a mlx5r_umr_resource_cleanup() (que libera el QP) en mlx5_ib_stage_post_ib_reg_umr_init(). Esto evitará intentos de double free del mismo QP cuando __mlx5_ib_add() realice su limpieza.
