LIN1021-7485 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2021-47001

Created: Feb 28, 2024    Updated: Mar 22, 2024
Resolved Date: Mar 22, 2024
Found In Version: 10.21.20.1
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 21
Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

xprtrdma: Fix cwnd update ordering

After a reconnect, the reply handler is opening the cwnd (and thus
enabling more RPC Calls to be sent) /before/ rpcrdma_post_recvs()
can post enough Receive WRs to receive their replies. This causes an
RNR and the new connection is lost immediately.

The race is most clearly exposed when KASAN and disconnect injection
are enabled. This slows down rpcrdma_rep_create() enough to allow
the send side to post a bunch of RPC Calls before the Receive
completion handler can invoke ib_post_recv().
