On a\nfresh outgoing connection, ic is allocated in rds_ib_conn_alloc() with\ni_cm_id = NULL because the connection worker has not yet called\nrds_ib_conn_path_connect() to create the rdma_cm_id. When sendmsg() with\nRDS_CMSG_RDMA_MAP is called on such a connection, the sendmsg path parses\nthe control message before any connection establishment, allowing\nrds_ib_post_reg_frmr() to dereference ic->i_cm_id->qp and crash the\nkernel.\n\nThe existing guard in rds_ib_reg_frmr() only checks for !ic (added in\ncommit 9e630bcb7701), which does not catch this case since ic is allocated\nearly and is always non-NULL once the connection object exists.\n\n KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000010-0x0000000000000017]\n RIP: 0010:rds_ib_post_reg_frmr+0x50e/0x920\n Call Trace:\n  rds_ib_post_reg_frmr (net/rds/ib_frmr.c:167)\n  rds_ib_map_frmr (net/rds/ib_frmr.c:252)\n  rds_ib_reg_frmr (net/rds/ib_frmr.c:430)\n  rds_ib_get_mr (net/rds/ib_rdma.c:615)\n  __rds_rdma_map (net/rds/rdma.c:295)\n  rds_cmsg_rdma_map (net/rds/rdma.c:860)\n  rds_sendmsg (net/rds/send.c:1363)\n  ____sys_sendmsg\n  do_syscall_64\n\nAdd a check in rds_ib_get_mr() that verifies ic, i_cm_id, and qp are all\nnon-NULL before proceeding with FRMR registration, mirroring the guard\nalready present in rds_ib_post_inv(). Return -ENODEV when the connection\nis not ready, which the existing error handling in rds_cmsg_send() converts\nto -EAGAIN for userspace retry and triggers rds_conn_connect_if_down() to\nstart the connection worker.","published":"2026-04-13T14:16:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:33:42.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00114,"percentile":0.01479,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.11%).
