Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event
irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from “neigh” (alias “ptr”) until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE. Other events come with different structures pointed to by “ptr” and they may be smaller than struct neighbour.
Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case.
The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in irdma_net_event+0x32e/0x3b0 [irdma] Read of size 8 at addr ffffc900075e07f0 by task kworker/27:2/542554
