To mitigate this issue, prevent the vmw_pvrdma kernel module from loading. Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/disable-vmw_pvrdma.conf with the following content: install vmw_pvrdma /bin/true. A system reboot is required for this change to take effect. Disabling this module may impact functionality if VMware paravirtual RDMA devices are actively used.

Public exploit evidence
No public exploit reference is identified in the imported evidence. This is not a claim that no exploit exists.
Original source description
Read the full publisher description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/vmw_pvrdma: Fix double free on pvrdma_alloc_ucontext() error path
Sashiko points out that pvrdma_uar_free() is already called within pvrdma_dealloc_ucontext(), so calling it before triggers a double free.
