CWE-129  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Array Index in the svc_rdma_copy_inline_range process due to improper bounds checking of the rc_curpage index when accessing rq_pages. An attacker can read or write arbitrary kernel memory, potentially leading to information disclosure, privilege escalation, or denial of service by sending specially crafted RPC-over-RDMA messages to an enabled NFS/RDMA listener.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
