Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/ucma: Serialize join and leave on copy_to_user failure rdma_join_multicast() queues RoCE work that later reads the ucma_multicast through event->param.ud.private_data, then list_add()s the CMA multicast at the head of id_priv->mc_list. rdma_leave_multicast() matches only by sockaddr and destroys the first hit. ucma_process_join() used to drop ctx->mutex after a successful join and retake it only if copy_to_user() failed.
