In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srpt: Add a check for valid 'mad_agent' pointer When unregistering MAD agent, srpt module has a non-null check for 'mad_agent' pointer before invoking ib_unregister_mad_agent(). This check can pass if 'mad_agent' variable holds an error value. The 'mad_agent' can have an error value for a short window when srpt_add_one() and srpt_remove_one() is executed simultaneously. In srpt module, added a valid pointer check for 'sport->mad_agent' before unregistering MAD agent. This issue can hit when RoCE driver unregisters ib_device Stack Trace: ------------ BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000004d PGD 145003067 P4D 145003067 PUD 2324fe067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI CPU: 10 PID: 4459 Comm: kworker/u80:0 Kdump: loaded Tainted: P Hardware name: Dell Inc.
