CVE-2020-36385
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.10. drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c has a use-after-free because the ctx is reached via the ctx_list in some ucma_migrate_id situations where ucma_close is called, aka CID-f5449e74802c.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.48%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
