MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
An issue exists in the RDMA/irdma component where a user can trigger a null pointer dereference during Queue Pair (QP) creation. This occurs because the system only attempts to populate the
iwqp->iwpbl field if the user-provided req.user wqe bufs field is non-zero, yet iwqp->iwpbl is later dereferenced unconditionally within the irdma setup virt qp() function. By providing a zero value for req.user wqe bufs, a user can bypass the null check and cause the system to crash.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
