In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rtrs-clt: Fix CQ pool leak when connect is interrupted
The client borrows shared CQ credits in the ADDR_RESOLVED handler via
ib_cq_pool_get(), before the peer is connected. create_cm() can return
-ERESTARTSYS from wait_event_interruptible_timeout() without destroying
the CM ID. The init_conns() and stop-and-destroy paths then call
destroy_con_cq_qp() while cq is still NULL (no PUT) and only afterwards
rdma_destroy_id().
CMA serializes the handler against rdma_destroy_id() with handler_mutex,
but that does not order the GET against destroy_con_cq_qp(). If
ADDR_RESOLVED has already passed the DESTROYING check, it can take
con_mutex, GET credits, and then lose the con to kfree. Device
unregister later hits WARN_ON(cq->cqe_used) in ib_cq_pool_cleanup().
Set a per-connection flag under con_mutex before CQ/QP teardown so a
racing ADDR_RESOLVED cannot borrow credits after teardown has begun.
