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

    RDMA/rxe: Fix null deref on srq->rq.queue after resize failure

    A NULL pointer dereference can occur in rxe_srq_chk_attr() when
    ibv_modify_srq() is invoked twice in succession under certain error
    conditions. The first call may fail in rxe_queue_resize(), which leads
    rxe_srq_from_attr() to set srq->rq.queue = NULL. The second call then
    triggers a crash (null deref) when accessing
    srq->rq.queue->buf->index_mask.

    Call Trace:
