Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmet-rdma: fix response resource leak on queue teardown

When an nvme target with rdma transport is removed while I/Os are in flight, a response can be posted but its send completion is never delivered before the connection is torn down. As a result nvmet_rdma_send_done() and nvmet_rdma_release_rsp() are never called for the response, and this leaks the allocated RDMA read/write context and request SGLs.

These leaks are recreated by running blktests nvme/061 with the rdma transport and the siw driver. Kernel kmemleak feature reports them as follows:

unreferenced object 0xffff88812bc490c0 (size 32): comm "kworker/2:1H", pid 409, jiffies 4307744490 backtrace (crc 89afd339): __kmalloc_noprof+0x5f9/0x890 sgl_alloc_order+0x7b/0x380 nvmet_req_alloc_sgls+0x290/0x4f0 [nvmet] nvmet_rdma_map_sgl_keyed+0x241/0x12e0 [nvmet_rdma] nvmet_rdma_handle_command+0x73e/0xb80 [nvmet_rdma] __ib_process_cq+0x149/0x4c0 [ib_core] ib_cq_poll_work+0x49/0x160 [ib_core] process_one_work+0x8b2/0x1640 worker_thread+0x5fd/0xfe0 kthread+0x367/0x460 ret_from_fork+0x655/0x9d0 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

To avoid the memory leaks, reclaim the memory of the in-flight responses when the queue QP is torn down. Call nvmet_rdma_free_rsp_resources() that frees up the RDMA read/write context and the request SGLs of such responses.

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

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.
