** Description changed: - A flaw was found in the transmit methods (xmit) for the loopback and - InfiniBand transports in the Linux kernel's Reliable Datagram Sockets - (RDS) implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to - cause a denial of service. + The Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) subsystem in the Linux kernel before + 2.6.38 does not properly handle congestion map updates, which allows + local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and system crash) via + vectors involving (1) a loopback (aka loop) transmit operation or (2) an + InfiniBand (aka ib) transmit operation. Break-Fix: 77dd550e5547846604ff6f90c4dc6bba4414e485 6094628bfd94323fc1cea05ec2c6affd98c18f7f
