Описание
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.18.7. In create_qp_common in drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/qp.c, mlx5_ib_create_qp_resp was never initialized, resulting in a leak of stack memory to userspace.
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's implementation of InfiniBand. A local attacker who is able to execute a read from the InfiniBand device could trigger an information leak of kernel memory to userspace which can be used to further attack the system.
Меры по смягчению последствий
If the InfiniBand device is in use, there is no known mitigation for this flaw. If the InfiniBand device is not in use, the kernel module (mlx5_ib) can be blacklisted and unloaded.
