In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix Use-After-Free of rsv_qp on HIP08 Currently rsv_qp is freed before ib_unregister_device() is called on HIP08. During the time interval, users can still dereg MR and rsv_qp will be used in this process, leading to a UAF. Move the release of rsv_qp after calling ib_unregister_device() to fix it.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
