What to Know

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

net/rds: Don't sleep inside rds_ib_conn_path_shutdown

New rds rdma self tests exposed a hang when tearing down

the ib network configs. This is caused by the shutdown worker

thread sleeping on the wait_event call, which blocks other work

items in the queue. Fix this by changing wait_event to

wait_event timeout, and looping until the wait check succeeds. (NVD)

What to Do

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