Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer
The function init_cq_frag_buf() can be called to initialize the current CQ
fragments buffer cq->buf, or the temporary cq->resize_buf that is filled
during CQ resize operation.
However, the offending commit started to use function get_cqe() for
getting the CQEs, the issue with this change is that get_cqe() always
returns CQEs from cq->buf, which leads us to initialize the wrong buffer,
and in case of enlarging the CQ we try to access elements beyond the size
of the current cq->buf and eventually hit a kernel panic.

Fix it by getting the needed CQE by calling mlx5_frag_buf_get_wqe() that
takes the correct source buffer as a parameter.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: IB/mlx5: Corrección al inicializar el búfer de fragmentos CQ. Se puede llamar a la función init_cq_frag_buf() para inicializar el búfer de fragmentos CQ actual cq->buf, o el cq->resize_buf temporal que es rellenado durante la operación de cambio de tamaño de CQ. Sin embargo, la confirmación infractora comenzó a usar la función get_cqe() para obtener los CQE, el problema con este cambio es que get_cqe() siempre devuelve CQE desde cq->buf, lo que nos lleva a inicializar el búfer incorrecto y, en caso de ampliarlo, En el CQ intentamos acceder a elementos más allá del tamaño del cq->buf actual y finalmente entramos en pánico en el kernel.
