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

RDMA/siw: Fix a use after free in siw_alloc_mr

Our code analyzer reported a UAF.

In siw_alloc_mr(), it calls siw_mr_add_mem(mr,..). In the implementation of
siw_mr_add_mem(), mem is assigned to mr->mem and then mem is freed via
kfree(mem) if xa_alloc_cyclic() failed. Here, mr->mem still point to a
freed object. After, the execution continue up to the err_out branch of
siw_alloc_mr, and the freed mr->mem is used in siw_mr_drop_mem(mr).

My patch moves "mr->mem = mem" behind the if (xa_alloc_cyclic(..)<0) {}
section, to avoid the uaf.
