kernel: infiniband: Unprivileged process can overwrite kernel memory using rdma_ucm.ko

A flaw was found in the way certain interfaces of the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem used write as bi-directional ioctl replacement, which could lead to insufficient memory security checks when being invoked using the splice system call. A local unprivileged user on a system with either...

kernel: infiniband: uverbs: unprotected physical memory access

It was found that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the uverbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate...

USN-2528-1 linux vulnerability

It was discovered that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize its input parameters while registering memory regions from userspace. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service system crash or to potentially gain administrative privileges...
