In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Correctly move list in sc_disable()
Commit 13bac861952a ("IB/hfi1: Fix abba locking issue with sc_disable()") incorrectly tries to move a list from one list head to another. The result is a kernel crash.
The crash is triggered when a link goes down and there are waiters for a send to complete. The following signature is seen:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000030 [...]
Call Trace: sc_disable+0x1ba/0x240 [hfi1]
pio_freeze+0x3d/0x60 [hfi1]

The fix is to use the correct call to move the list.
