Summary

In the Linux kernel, a potential NULL pointer dereference was found in the RDMA/siw driver during header processing. If siw_get_hdr() returns -EINVAL before set_rx_fpdu_context(), qp->rx_fpdu can be NULL, and the error path in siw_tcp_rx_data() dereferences it without checking.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to trigger a KASAN null-ptr-deref, causing a kernel panic and potentially disrupting network services.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that adds a check for rx_fpdu presence before accessing more_ddp_segs.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/siw: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in header processing If siw_get_hdr() returns -EINVAL before set_rx_fpdu_context(), qp->rx_fpdu can be NULL. The error path in siw_tcp_rx_data() dereferences qp->rx_fpdu->more_ddp_segs without checking, which may lead to a NULL pointer deref. Only check more_ddp_segs when rx_fpdu is present. KASAN splat: [ 101.384271] KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x00000000000000c0-0x00000000000000c7] [ 101.385869] RIP: 0010:siw_tcp_rx_data+0x13ad/0x1e50
