Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c, because the ctx is reached via the ctx_list in some ucma_migrate_id situations where ucma_close is called. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger the use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
