No remote protocol message carries the lookup; the accessor is a netlink syscall.\nAC:L - The attacker drives both sides of the race: one thread loops RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_RES_CQ_GET while another opens and drops kernel-ULP RDMA connections so ib_free_cq() runs (svc_rdma_free() or smbdirect_connection_destroy_qp()). That is not a victim-only timing window.\nPR:L - RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_RES_CQ_GET in nldev_cb_table has no RDMA_NL_ADMIN_PERM, and NETLINK_RDMA is created with NL_CFG_F_NONROOT_RECV, so an ordinary user can dump CQs. Kernel CQ teardown via /dev/infiniband/rdma_cm (ucma_misc mode 0666) also does not need init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker sends the RDMA_NLDEV_CMD_RES_CQ_GET dumps and tears down their own kernel-ULP RDMA connections; no other user must mount a volume, open a device, or confirm an action.\nS:U - The UAF is of host-kernel CQ vendor state (ib_cq buffers freed in destroy_cq/pre_destroy_cq) and stays inside the same kernel authority; it is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or guest-to-host boundary cross.\nC:H - c4iw_destroy_cq() \u2192 destroy_cq() dma_free_coherent()s chp->cq.queue before rdma_restrack_del(); a concurrent fill_res_cq_entry \u2192 c4iw_fill_res_cq_entry still indexes that queue, so the UAF reads freed CQ-ring memory.\nI:H - The same ib_free_cq() window lets fill_res_cq_entry use vendor CQ resources already released by destroy_cq/pre_destroy_cq (Chelsio queue pages; mlx5 destroy_cq_kernel CQ buffers). Reclaiming that heap object yields an arbitrary write and control-flow hijack.\nA:H - fill_res_cq_entry walking a CQ whose queue or HW context was already freed in ib_free_cq() (after
