Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-02-26 03:12:30 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/hfi1: Fix use-after-free bug for mm struct

Under certain conditions, such as MPI_Abort, the hfi1 cleanup code may
represent the last reference held on the task mm.
hfi1_mmu_rb_unregister() then drops the last reference and the mm is freed
before the final use in hfi1_release_user_pages().  A new task may
allocate the mm structure while it is still being used, resulting in
problems. One manifestation is corruption of the mmap_sem counter leading
to a hang in down_write().  Another is corruption of an mm struct that is
in use by another task.
