Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xprtrdma: treat all calls not a bcall when bc_serv is NULL When a rdma server returns a fault format reply, nfs v3 client may treats it as a bcall when bc service is not exist. The debug message at rpcrdma_bc_receive_call are, [56579.837169] RPC: rpcrdma_bc_receive_call: callback XID 00000001, length=20 [56579.837174] RPC: rpcrdma_bc_receive_call: 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 After that, rpcrdma_bc_receive_call will meets NULL pointer as, [ 226.057890] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000000000c8 ...

Statement
This vulnerability is rated as Moderate impact for Red Hat Enterprise Linux because triggering the issue requires an active NFS client connection over an RDMA fabric to a malicious or rogue storage server. RDMA transport for NFS is not used by default and requires specialized networking hardware and non-standard configuration. While an exploit results in a client kernel panic and system denial of service, it does not directly facilitate privilege escalation or compromise data confidentiality.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
