Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
RDMA/rxe: Fix responder length checking for UD request packets<br />
<br />
According to the IBA specification:<br />
If a UD request packet is detected with an invalid length, the request<br />
shall be an invalid request and it shall be silently dropped by<br />
the responder. The responder then waits for a new request packet.<br />
<br />
commit 689c5421bfe0 ("RDMA/rxe: Fix incorrect responder length checking")<br />
defers responder length check for UD QPs in function `copy_data`.<br />
But it introduces a regression issue for UD QPs.<br />
<br />
When the packet size is too large to fit in the receive buffer.<br />
`copy_data` will return error code -EINVAL. Then `send_data_in`<br />
will return RESPST_ERR_MALFORMED_WQE. UD QP will transfer into<br />
ERROR state.
