In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer The function
init_cq_frag_buf() can be called to initialize the current CQ fragments
buffer cq->buf, or the temporary cq->resize_buf that is filled during CQ
resize operation. However, the offending commit started to use function
get_cqe() for getting the CQEs, the issue with this change is that
get_cqe() always returns CQEs from cq->buf, which leads us to initialize
the wrong buffer, and in case of enlarging the CQ we try to access elements
beyond the size of the current cq->buf and eventually hit a kernel panic.

getting the needed CQE by calling mlx5_frag_buf_get_wqe() that takes the
correct source buffer as a parameter.
