Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: insert mcg into mcg_tree only after rxe_mcast_add() succeeds
rxe_get_mcg() publishes a newly allocated multicast group in
rxe->mcg_tree before programming the backing Ethernet multicast address
with rxe_mcast_add(), which runs outside mcg_lock. A local userspace
RDMA client reaches this path with ATTACH_MCAST on a UD QP; if
rxe_mcast_add() then returns an error (for example -ENODEV when the
backing netdev has been removed, or a propagated dev_mc_add() error),
the unwind frees the published group without removing it from the tree.
A later lookup of the same MGID dereferences the freed struct rxe_mcg
from __rxe_lookup_mcg().
Fix this by keeping the new mcg private until rxe_mcast_add() succeeds.
Split the tree publication into __rxe_publish_mcg(), call rxe_mcast_add()
before taking the tree reference, and free the still-private mcg on
failure. Because the group is never visible in mcg_tree until the
