In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-rdma: Fix NULL deref when SEND is completed with error When running
some traffic and taking down the link on peer, a retry counter exceeded
error is received. This leads to nvmet_rdma_error_comp which tried
accessing the cq_context to obtain the queue. The cq_context is no longer
valid after the fix to use shared CQ mechanism and should be obtained
similar to how it is obtained in other functions from the wc->qp. [
