  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nRDMA/iwcm: Fix workqueue list corruption by removing work_list\nThe commit e1168f0 (\"RDMA/iwcm: Simplify cm_event_handler()\")\nchanged the work submission logic to unconditionally call\nqueue_work() with the expectation that queue_work() would\nhave no effect if work was already pending. The problem is\nthat a free list of struct iwcm_work is used (for which\nstruct work_struct is embedded), so each call to queue_work()\nis basically unique and therefore does indeed queue the work.\nThis causes a problem in the work handler which walks the work_list\nuntil it's empty to process entries. This means that a single\nrun of the work handler could process item N+1 and release it\nback to the free list while the actual workqueue entry is still\nqueued. It could then get reused (INIT_WORK...) and lead to\nlist corruption in the workqueue logic.\nFix this by just removing the work_list. The workqueue already\ndoes this for us.\nThis fixes the following error that was observed when stress\ntesting with ucmatose on an Intel E830 in iWARP mode:\n[  151.465780] list_del corruption. next->prev should be ffff9f0915c69c08, but was ffff9f0a1116be08.

Incorrect work submission logic in the `iwcm` component can lead to multiple queueing of work items. This allows a work item to be processed and freed while still present in the workqueue, causing list corruption. A successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in a kernel bug and system crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS)." ],
