What to Know

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

RDMA/siw: publish QP after initialization

siw_create_qp() currently calls siw_qp_add() before the queues, CQ

pointers, state, completion, and device list entry are ready. A QPN

lookup can therefore reach a QP that is still being constructed.

Move siw_qp_add() to the end of siw_create_qp(), after QP

initialization and before adding the QP to the siw device list. (NVD)

What to Do

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