Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event<br />
<br />
irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from "neigh" (alias<br />
"ptr") until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE.<br />
Other events come with different structures pointed to by "ptr" and they<br />
may be smaller than struct neighbour.<br />
<br />
Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case.<br />
<br />
The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels:<br />
<br />
