The buddy allocator does not zero pages\nwithout __GFP_ZERO, so the page contains stale kernel data from\nwhatever object most recently freed it.\n\nThe page is then mapped into userspace via vm_insert_page() under\nBNXT_RE_MMAP_SH_PAGE in bnxt_re_mmap(). The driver only ever writes\n4 bytes (a u32 AVID) at offset BNXT_RE_AVID_OFFT (0x10) inside\nbnxt_re_create_ah(); the remaining 4092 bytes of the page are exposed\nto userspace unsanitised, leaking kernel memory contents.\n\nAny user with access to /dev/infiniband/uverbsX on a host with a\nbnxt_re device (typically rdma group membership) can read this data\nvia a single mmap() at pgoff 0 after IB_USER_VERBS_CMD_GET_CONTEXT.\n\nOther shared pages in the same file already use get_zeroed_page()\ncorrectly:\n\n  drivers/infiniband/hw/bnxt_re/ib_verbs.c\n      srq->uctx_srq_page = (void *)get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);\n      cq->uctx_cq_page  = (void *)get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL);\n\nuctx->shpg is the only outlier.
