Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Fix responder UAF on IB_QP_MAX_DEST_RD_ATOMIC modify_qp rxe_qp_from_attr() handles IB_QP_MAX_DEST_RD_ATOMIC outside the IB_QP_STATE path, so it holds no state_lock and runs while the responder task rxe_receiver() (recv_task on rxe_wq) is live. A modify_qp() setting only that attribute calls free_rd_atomic_resources() then alloc_rd_atomic_resources(), swapping qp->resp.resources[] while rxe_prepare_res()/find_resource() walk it; free_rd_atomic_resources() also leaves the cached pointer qp->resp.res dangling. A local unprivileged user can race the free/realloc into a use-after-free in rxe_receiver() (local DoS). Drain recv_task around the swap with rxe_disable_task()/rxe_enable_task(), as rxe_qp_reset() already does when tearing this array down, re-enabling only after alloc_rd_atomic_resources() succeeds so the responder never resumes against a NULL qp->resp.resources on the ENOMEM path. Also clear qp->resp.res in free_rd_atomic_resources(), like the rxe_resp.c completion paths. Reproduced under KASAN; the slab-use-after-free in rxe_receiver() is gone.
