Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
RDMA/cm: Fix leaking the multicast GID table reference<br />
<br />
If the CM ID is destroyed while the CM event for multicast creating is<br />
still queued the cancel_work_sync() will prevent the work from running<br />
which also prevents destroying the ah_attr. This leaks a refcount and<br />
triggers a WARN:<br />
<br />
GID entry ref leak for dev syz1 index 2 ref=573<br />
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 655 at drivers/infiniband/core/cache.c:809 release_gid_table drivers/infiniband/core/cache.c:806 [inline]<br />
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 655 at drivers/infiniband/core/cache.c:809 gid_table_release_one+0x284/0x3cc drivers/infiniband/core/cache.c:886<br />
<br />
Destroy the ah_attr after canceling the work, it is safe to call this<br />
twice.
