GHSA-WM8X-C4GV-VVW5
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-04-03 18:30 – Updated: 2025-02-28 00:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix sdma.h tx->num_descs off-by-one error
Unfortunately the commit fd8958efe877 introduced another error
causing the descs array to overflow. This reults in further crashes
easily reproducible by sendmsg system call.

If an SDMA send consists of exactly 6 descriptors and requires dword padding (in the 7th descriptor), the sdma_txreq descriptor array is not properly expanded and the packet will overflow into the container structure. This results in a panic when the send completion runs. The exact panic varies depending on what elements of the container structure get corrupted. The fix is to use the correct expression in _pad_sdma_tx_descs() to test the need to expand the descriptor array.
With this patch the crashes are no longer reproducible and the machine is stable.
