Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Allow UD qp_type to join multicast only
As for multicast:
- The SIDR is the only mode that makes sense;
- Besides PS_UDP, other port spaces like PS_IB is also allowed, as it is
UD compatible. In this case qkey also needs to be set [1].
This patch allows only UD qp_type to join multicast, and set qkey to
default if it's not set, to fix an uninit-value error: the ib->rec.qkey
field is accessed without being initialized.
