In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: Initialize re_id before removal registration
rpcrdma_create_id() registers ep->re_rn with the rpcrdma ib_client
before returning the new rdma_cm_id to rpcrdma_ep_create(). However
rpcrdma_ep_create() currently stores that pointer in ep->re_id only
after rpcrdma_create_id() returns.
A local administrator can race an NFS/RDMA mount against RDMA device
removal. If rpcrdma_remove_one() observes the just-registered
notification before rpcrdma_ep_create() assigns ep->re_id,
rpcrdma_ep_removal_done() calls trace_xprtrdma_device_removal(NULL).
The tracepoint dereferences id->device->name and copies
id->route.addr.dst_addr, so the callback can crash the kernel with a
NULL pointer dereference.
Store the rdma_cm_id in ep->re_id immediately before publishing
ep->re_rn. The existing error path still destroys the id directly if
registration fails; ep is then freed by the caller without using
ep->re_id. Remove the later duplicate assignment in rpcrdma_ep_create().
