CVE-2023-54055

/// Technical description

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

RDMA/irdma: Fix memory leak of PBLE objects

On rmmod of irdma, the PBLE object memory is not being freed. PBLE object

memory are not statically pre-allocated at function initialization time

unlike other HMC objects. PBLEs objects and the Segment Descriptors (SD)

for it can be dynamically allocated during scale up and SD's remain

allocated till function deinitialization.

Fix this leak by adding IRDMA_HMC_IW_PBLE to the iw_hmc_obj_types[] table

and skip pbles in irdma_create_hmc_obj but not in irdma_del_hmc_objects().

/// Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
