In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvmet-rdma: Fix NULL deref when SEND is completed with error

When running some traffic and taking down the link on peer, a
retry counter exceeded error is received. This leads to
nvmet_rdma_error_comp which tried accessing the cq_context to
obtain the queue. The cq_context is no longer valid after the
fix to use shared CQ mechanism and should be obtained similar
to how it is obtained in other functions from the wc->qp.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nvmet-rdma: corrige la deref NULL cuando se completa SEND con error Al ejecutar algo de tráfico y eliminar el enlace en el par, se recibe un error de contador de reintentos excedido. Esto lleva a nvmet_rdma_error_comp que intentó acceder a cq_context para obtener la cola. El cq_context ya no es válido después de la corrección para usar el mecanismo CQ compartido y debe obtenerse de manera similar a cómo se obtiene en otras funciones de wc->qp. [905.786331] nvmet_rdma: El ENVÍO para CQE 0x00000000e3337f90 falló y se superó el contador de reintentos de transporte de estado (12).
