RDMA/cma: Do not change route.addr.src_addr outside state checks

CVE-2022-48925

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/cma: Do not change route.addr.src_addr outside state checks

If the state is not idle then resolve_prepare_src() should immediately fail and no change to global state should happen. However, it unconditionally overwrites the src_addr trying to build a temporary any address.

For instance if the state is already RDMA_CM_LISTEN then this will corrupt the src_addr and would cause the test in cma_cancel_operation():

if (cma_any_addr(cma_src_addr(id_priv)) && !id_priv->cma_dev)

Which would manifest as this trace from syzkaller:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __list_add_valid+0x93/0xa0 lib/list_debug.c:26 Read of size 8 at addr ffff8881546491e0 by task syz-executor.1/32204

This is indicating that an rdma_id_private was destroyed without doing cma_cancel_listens().

Instead of trying to re-use the src_addr memory to indirectly create an any address derived from the dst build one explicitly on the stack and bind to that as any other normal flow would do. rdma_bind_addr() will copy it over the src_addr once it knows the state is valid.

This is similar to commit bc0bdc5afaa7 ("RDMA/cma: Do not change route.addr.src_addr.ss_family")
