RoCEv2 is routable IP/UDP traffic, so the attacker is not confined to the local L2 segment.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both sides of the race: the vulnerable counter access only occurs when resp_pkts already holds another packet (queue_len > 1), a condition created by bursting response packets while the completer work item concurrently drains and kfree_skb()s them on another CPU. The commit describes it triggering under high packet load, which is exactly what an attacker-driven flood produces.\nPR:N - RoCEv2 provides no authentication; the only checks before the UAF are QPN lookup, QP state, source/destination IP matching the QP's address vector, default pkey, and a plain CRC32 ICRC that any attacker can compute. A malicious or compromised RDMA peer, or an attacker spoofing the peer's source address, needs no credentials on the target system.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only that the target have an active RC/UC queue pair in RTS state, which is the normal steady-state operating condition of an RDMA connection. No action by any local user or administrator is needed at attack time.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel slab memory and is exploited within the kernel's own security authority. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The freed skb's control block is read after kfree_skb(), so the attacker can groom the reallocated slab object to source the rxe pointer, and a use-after-free on the skb slab is a classic primitive for leaking adjacent kernel memory and defeating KASLR.\nI:H - The stale pointer read from the freed object is immediately passed to rxe_counter_inc(), which performs atomic64_inc(&rxe->stats_counters[index]) \u2014 a write through an attacker-influenceable pointer, giving a targeted 64-bit increment primitive that can corrupt arbitrary kernel structures and be escalated to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - The commit explicitly reports a segmentation fault (kernel oops) from this dereference, and any unresolved use-after-free of an skb reliably crashes or panics the kernel, which a remote attacker can trigger repeatedly."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo":
