Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/siw: Fix duplicated reported IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY event

If siw_recv_mpa_rr returns -EAGAIN, it means that the MPA reply hasn't

been received completely, and should not report IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY

in this case. This may trigger a call trace in iw_cm. A simple way to

trigger this:

server: ib_send_lat

client: ib_send_lat -R <server_ip>

The call trace looks like this:

kernel BUG at drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c:894!

invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI

<...>

Workqueue: iw_cm_wq cm_work_handler [iw_cm]
