What is known
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/siw: Fix duplicated reported IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY event If siw_recv_mpa_rr returns -EAGAIN, it means that the MPA reply hasn't been received completely, and should not report IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY in this case. This may trigger a call trace in iw_cm. A simple way to trigger this: server: ib_send_lat client: ib_send_lat -R <server_ip> The call trace looks like this: kernel BUG at drivers/infiniband/core/iwcm.c:894! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI <...> Workqueue: iw_cm_wq cm_work_handler [iw_cm] Call Trace: <TASK> cm_work_handler+0x1dd/0x370 [iw_cm] process_one_work+0x1e2/0x3b0 worker_thread+0x49/0x2e0 ? rescuer_thread+0x370/0x370 kthread+0xe5/0x110 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x20/0x20 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 </TASK>
Business impact
Successful exploitation of CVE-2022-50136, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
Recommended administrator action
Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
