What to Know

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

RDMA: During rereg_mr ensure that REREG_ACCESS is compatible

If IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS changes from RO to RW then the umem has to be

re-evaluated to ensure it is properly pinned as RW. Since the umem is

hidden inside each driver's mr struct add a ib_umem_check_rereg() function

that each driver has to call before processing IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS.

mlx4 has to retain its duplicate ib_access_writable check because it

implements IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS | IB_MR_REREG_TRANS by changing both items

in place sequentially while the MR is live, so it will continue to not

support this combination. (NVD)

What to Do

Monitor Linux's web page for any future patch releases.
