Received Received - Intake
Use-After-Initialization in Linux RDMA irdma QP Cleanup

Publication date: 2026-04-22

Last updated on: 2026-04-28

Assigner: kernel.org

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Initialize free_qp completion before using it In irdma_create_qp, if ib_copy_to_udata fails, it will call irdma_destroy_qp to clean up which will attempt to wait on the free_qp completion, which is not initialized yet. Fix this by initializing the completion before the ib_copy_to_udata call.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's RDMA/irdma component. Specifically, during the creation of a queue pair (qp) in the function irdma_create_qp, if the function ib_copy_to_udata fails, the cleanup function irdma_destroy_qp is called. This cleanup attempts to wait on a completion object called free_qp, but this completion is not initialized before use, which can lead to undefined behavior or errors. The fix involves initializing the free_qp completion before the ib_copy_to_udata call to ensure proper handling.

Impact Analysis

If this vulnerability is triggered, it could cause improper cleanup during queue pair creation failures in the RDMA/irdma subsystem of the Linux kernel. This might lead to system instability, crashes, or resource leaks due to waiting on an uninitialized completion object.
