Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, related to the RDMA/hfi1 component. The issue occurs when there is a failure during the probe of hfi1 before the sdma map lock is initialized, causing the hfi1 free devdata() function to attempt to use a lock that has not been initialized. This can lead to an INFO message and stack trace. The vulnerability is related to the use of the sdma map lock in the sdma clean() function, which is used for freeing the sdma map memory. The issue can be avoided by checking if sdma map is not NULL before attempting to use the lock.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
