The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in ib_uverbs_post_send() when processing a user-supplied wqe_size value. A local user can provide a crafted small wqe_size value to disclose sensitive information.
An excessively large wqe_size value can also trigger a warning in the memory allocation path.
Remediation
