  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nRDMA/irdma: Fix double free related to rereg_user_mr\nIf IB_MR_REREG_TRANS is set during rereg_user_mr, the\numem will be released and a new one will be allocated\nin irdma_rereg_mr_trans. If any step of irdma_rereg_mr_trans\nfails after the new umem is allocated, it releases the umem,\nbut does not set iwmr->region to NULL. The problem is that\nthis failure is propagated to the user, who will then call\nibv_dereg_mr (as they should). Then, the dereg_mr path will\nsee a non-NULL umem and attempt to call ib_umem_release again.\nFix this by setting iwmr->region to NULL after ib_umem_release.\nFixed: 5ac388db27c4 (\"RDMA/irdma: Add support to re-register a memory region\")", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) irdma driver. This vulnerability, a double free, occurs during the re-registration of user memory regions. If an internal memory re-registration operation fails, the system attempts to free the same memory twice. This could allow a local attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to a system crash (denial of service)." ],
