no remote or adjacent peer data reaches the vulnerable code.\nAC:L - The attacker owns both sides of the race, looping RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_NEWLINK (rxe/siw link add, which ends in `ib_device_notify_register()`) in one thread against RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_SET rename in another; the device is already in the `devices` xarray and reachable by index before the unprotected notify runs, and syzkaller reproduced it.\nPR:L - The gate is `netlink_capable(skb, CAP_NET_ADMIN)` against `init_user_ns`, so it is not obtainable via `unshare -Urn`, but CAP_NET_ADMIN in the initial user namespace is routinely delegated to non-root container workloads (Docker/K8s RDMA and SR-IOV network plugins commonly run `--cap-add=NET_ADMIN` without user namespaces), so this is scored as a low-privileged principal rather than real host root.\nUI:N - The attacker issues both the device registration and the concurrent rename itself over netlink; no victim action of any kind is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free is on kernel slab memory and its consequences remain within the kernel's own security authority; no hypervisor, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - `nla_put_string()` runs `strlen()` and `memcpy()` over the freed `kobj->name` chunk and the result is `rdma_nl_multicast()`ed to RDMA_NL_GROUP_NOTIFY, a group any unprivileged process may bind because the RDMA netlink socket sets `NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_RECV` — reallocated kernel heap contents, plus an unbounded out-of-bounds read past the freed chunk when no NUL follows, are disclosed straight to userspace.\nI:H - This is a slab use-after-free where the attacker can spray the freed kmalloc chunk and control the bytes the kernel then consumes and emits; per UAF-class scoring the reallocation primitive is treated as exploitable for kernel state corruption, and the forged device name additionally steers RDMA monitor tooling in userspace onto the wrong device.\nA:H - The `strlen`/`memcpy` over freed memory is a KASAN slab-use-after-free read that oopses when the backing page has been returned or under KFENCE/page poisoning, and on `panic_on_warn` systems the KASAN report itself panics the host."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/infiniband/core/device.c"],"versions":[{"version":"9cbed5aab5aeea420d0aa945733bf608449d44fb","lessThan":"0d6460b9d2a3ee380940bdf47680751ef91cb88e","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9cbed5aab5aeea420d0aa945733bf608449d44fb","lessThan":"56ec8580be5174b2b9774066e60f1aad56d201db","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9cbed5aab5aeea420d0aa945733bf608449d44fb","lessThan":"edf6b543e81ba68c6dbac2499ab362098a5a9716","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"9cbed5aab5aeea420d0aa945733bf608449d44fb","lessThan":"1d6a9e7449e2a0c1e2934eee7880ba8bd1e464cd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/infiniband/core/device.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.12","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.12","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.23","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.13.11","lessThanOrEqual":"6.13.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.14.2","lessThanOrEqual":"6.14.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.15","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.23"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.13.11"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.14.2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.15"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0d6460b9d2a3ee380940bdf47680751ef91cb88e"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/56ec8580be5174b2b9774066e60f1aad56d201db"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/edf6b543e81ba68c6dbac2499ab362098a5a9716"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1d6a9e7449e2a0c1e2934eee7880ba8bd1e464cd"}],"title":"RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"scope":"UNCHANGED","version":"3.1","baseScore":7.8,"attackVector":"LOCAL","baseSeverity":"HIGH","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","integrityImpact":"HIGH","userInteraction":"NONE","attackComplexity":"LOW","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH"}},{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2025-22085","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"total"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2025-04-21T14:57:43.878838Z"}}}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","type":"CWE","cweId":"CWE-416","description":"CWE-416 Use After Free"}]}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2025-04-21T15:01:46.413Z"}}]}}
