Description The issue affects the Linux kernel package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, allowing local users to access arbitrary physical memory locations and potentially cause a denial of service or gain privileges. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely. The InfiniBand implementation does not properly restrict the use of User Verbs for registration of memory regions, allowing users to leverage permissions on a uverbs device under /dev/infiniband/.
