Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix seg fault in rxe_comp_queue_pkt
In rxe_comp_queue_pkt() an incoming response packet skb is enqueued to the
resp_pkts queue and then a decision is made whether to run the completer
task inline or schedule it. Finally the skb is dereferenced to bump a 'hw'
performance counter. This is wrong because if the completer task is
already running in a separate thread it may have already processed the skb
and freed it which can cause a seg fault. This has been observed
infrequently in testing at high scale.
This patch fixes this by changing the order of enqueuing the packet until
after the counter is accessed.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) subsystem, specifically within the rxe_comp_queue_pkt() function of the rxe component. A race condition can occur where a socket buffer (skb) is prematurely freed while still being referenced, leading to a segmentation fault. This vulnerability can cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, prevent the rxe kernel module from loading. This can be achieved by creating a modprobe configuration file.
Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/disable-rxe.conf with the following content:
After creating the file, regenerate the initramfs and reboot the system for the changes to take effect.
Disabling the rxe module will prevent the use of RDMA over Ethernet functionality.
