The resulting corrupt hardware STAG can later be abused over RDMA, but initial access is local.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls every precondition: register a buffer with reg_type IRDMA_MEMREG_TYPE_QP/CQ/SRQ, then call rereg_mr on that handle. There is no race, no timing dependency and no reliance on memory layout the attacker cannot influence.\nPR:L - Only an open file descriptor on /dev/infiniband/uverbsN is needed; rdma-core udev rules ship these nodes world-accessible (0666) and they are routinely exposed to containers. ib_uverbs_rereg_mr() performs no capability check, only uobject ownership of the caller's own MR.\nUI:N - The attacker performs the entire sequence (reg_mr with a non-MEM reg_type, then rereg_mr) from its own process. No action by any other user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The corruption stays within the kernel/RDMA-device security authority managed by the same OS instance; there is no VM, IOMMU or hypervisor boundary crossed by the erroneous CQP command.\nC:H - Programming HW STAG index 0 with attacker-chosen remote-read rights, combined with dereg_mr never invalidating it, leaves a live hardware mapping over PBLEs and umem pages that are freed and reused, giving RDMA-read access to recycled kernel/other-process memory; it can also collide with another process's MR at stag index 0.\nI:H - The same stale/hijacked STAG can carry IB_ACCESS_REMOTE_WRITE, and the IB_MR_REREG_TRANS path frees the PBLEs and releases the umem of a live QP/CQ/SRQ while hardware keeps DMAing into those pages, yielding device-driven writes into freed and reallocated kernel memory.\nA:H - Issuing a CQP op with a zero mkey corrupts device state and can fail the CQP op, triggering the driver's reset path; the DMA-after-free into recycled pages and the clobbering of another region's STAG readily produce kernel memory corruption, oops or full RDMA device reset." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "715fdb3b30541cc8180b7cdc6aa9f8c307afdf25", "lessThan": "fb46d134e1b8690bed2da9005b36d32d2efd34ac", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5ac388db27c443dadfbb0b8b23fa7ccf429d901a", "lessThan": "b5029e91c63406e4f4c8d58161048b41b6f0bd8c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5ac388db27c443dadfbb0b8b23fa7ccf429d901a", "lessThan": "ca1c29f05274b737dc964e28b97803750d7cf7ec", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5ac388db27c443dadfbb0b8b23fa7ccf429d901a", "lessThan": "dbaa37e060918c45517786e37ecab0f300b48fa9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5ac388db27c443dadfbb0b8b23fa7ccf429d901a", "lessThan": "a846aecb931b4d65d5eafa92a0623545af46d4f2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "6.6.120", "lessThan": "6.6.148", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/infiniband/hw/irdma/verbs.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.7", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.148", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.42", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.120", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.148" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.101" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.42" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb46d134e1b8690bed2da9005b36d32d2efd34ac" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5029e91c63406e4f4c8d58161048b41b6f0bd8c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ca1c29f05274b737dc964e28b97803750d7cf7ec" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dbaa37e060918c45517786e37ecab0f300b48fa9" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a846aecb931b4d65d5eafa92a0623545af46d4f2" } ], "title": "RDMA/irdma: Prevent rereg_mr for non-mem regions", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-68419", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:48:37.991046Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T15:53:12.780Z" } } ] } }
