CVE-2023-54302
- Published: 2025-12-30T13:16:19.330
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix data race on CQP completion stats
CQP completion statistics is read lockesly in irdma_wait_event and
irdma_check_cqp_progress while it can be updated in the completion
thread irdma_sc_ccq_get_cqe_info on another CPU as KCSAN reports.
Make completion statistics an atomic variable to reflect coherent updates
to it. This will also avoid load/store tearing logic bug potentially
possible by compiler optimizations.
