Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-18 11:02:26 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/umad: Reject negative data_len in ib_umad_write

ib_umad_write computes data_len from user-controlled count and the
MAD header sizes. With a mismatched user MAD header size and RMPP
header length, data_len can become negative and reach ib_create_send_mad().
This can make the padding calculation exceed the segment size and trigger
an out-of-bounds memset in alloc_send_rmpp_list().

Add an explicit check to reject negative data_len before creating the
send buffer.
