Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RDMA/irdma component. This vulnerability, located in the `irdma_create_user_ah()` function, is caused by uninitialized reserved memory. An attacker could potentially exploit this to leak 4 bytes of sensitive stack memory, leading to information disclosure.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-25 11:06:37 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/irdma: Fix kernel stack leak in irdma_create_user_ah()

struct irdma_create_ah_resp {  // 8 bytes, no padding
    __u32 ah_id;               // offset 0 - SET (uresp.ah_id = ah->sc_ah.ah_info.ah_idx)
    __u8  rsvd[4];             // offset 4 - NEVER SET <- LEAK
};

rsvd[4]: 4 bytes of stack memory leaked unconditionally. Only ah_id is assigned before ib_respond_udata().

The reserved members of the structure were not zeroed.
