Description
A flaw exists in the Linux kernel's RDMA/mlx4 component related to a shift wrapping issue within the
set user sq size() function. The ucmd->log sq bb count variable, which is user-controlled, can cause a shift operation to wrap, potentially leading to unexpected behavior. The issue is addressed by implementing check shl overflow() similar to a previous fix.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
