Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: zero shared page before exposing to userspace
bnxt_re_alloc_ucontext() allocates uctx->shpg via
__get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL). The buddy allocator does not zero pages
without __GFP_ZERO, so the page contains stale kernel data from
whatever object most recently freed it.
The page is then mapped into userspace via vm_insert_page() under
BNXT_RE_MMAP_SH_PAGE in bnxt_re_mmap(). The driver only ever writes
4 bytes (a u32 AVID) at offset BNXT_RE_AVID_OFFT (0x10) inside
bnxt_re_create_ah(); the remaining 4092 bytes of the page are exposed
to userspace unsanitised, leaking kernel memory contents.
Any user with access to /dev/infiniband/uverbsX on a host with a
bnxt_re device (typically rdma group membership) can read this data
via a single mmap() at pgoff 0 after IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_GET_CONTEXT.
Other shared pages in the same file already use get_zeroed_page()
correctly:
drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/ib_verbs.c
srq->uctx_srq_page = (void *)get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
cq->uctx_cq_page = (void *)get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);
uctx->shpg is the only outlier. Bring it in line with the existing
convention by switching to get_zeroed_page().

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
