Описание
A memory leak in the ql_alloc_large_buffers() function in drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qla3xxx.c in the Linux kernel before 5.3.5 allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering pci_dma_mapping_error() failures, aka CID-1acb8f2a7a9f.
A flaw was found in the way the QLogic QLA3xxx NIC HBA Driver in the Linux kernel handled resource cleanup on a DMA mapping error. This flaw allows an attacker able to trigger the DMA mapping error to crash the system.
Отчет
This issue is rated as having Low impact because of the preconditions needed to trigger the resource cleanup code path (DMA mapping error).
Меры по смягчению последствий
In order to mitigate this issue it is possible to prevent the affected code from being loaded by blacklisting the kernel module qla3xxx. For instructions relating to how to blacklist a kernel module refer to: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278
