I created a PR to address this issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/pull/13322
Simply change cub submodule's URL will impact every developer. The recommended command: "git submodule update" won't work. Developer has to run "git submodule sync" first. To minimize the impact, I deleted CUB submodule and added a new submodule: "nvidia_cub". the only side effect is there will be a dangling untracked folder "cub" in local disk. Developer can delete it manually.
