Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 5.15.167/6.1.112/6.6.53/6.10.12/6.11.1 and classified as problematic. This issue affects the function init_conns of the component RDMA. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a out-of-bounds vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Impacted is confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rtrs-clt: Reset cid to con_num - 1 to stay in bounds In the function init_conns(), after the create_con() and create_cm() for loop if something fails. In the cleanup for loop after the destroy tag, we access out of bound memory because cid is set to clt_path->s.con_num. This commits resets the cid to clt_path->s.con_num - 1, to stay in bounds in the cleanup loop later.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2024-47695 since 09/30/2024. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
