CVE-2025-40061

Estado: AplazadaAlta (7.8)—

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

RDMA/rxe: Fix race in do_task() when draining

When do_task() exhausts its iteration budget (!ret), it sets the state to TASK_STATE_IDLE to reschedule, without a secondary check on the current task->state. This can overwrite the TASK_STATE_DRAINING state set by a concurrent call to rxe_cleanup_task() or rxe_disable_task().

While state changes are protected by a spinlock, both rxe_cleanup_task() and rxe_disable_task() release the lock while waiting for the task to finish draining in the while(!is_done(task)) loop.

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

The race occurs if do_task() hits its iteration limit and acquires the lock in this window. The cleanup logic may then proceed while the task incorrectly reschedules itself, leading to a potential use-after-free.

This bug was introduced during the migration from tasklets to workqueues, where the special handling for the draining case was lost.

Fix this by restoring the original pre-migration behavior. If the state is TASK_STATE_DRAINING when iterations are exhausted, set cont to 1 to force a new loop iteration. This allows the task to finish its work, so that a subsequent iteration can reach the switch statement and correctly transition the state to TASK_STATE_DRAINED, stopping the task as intended.
