Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in srp_process_rsp() when processing a crafted SRP_RSP response from an SRP target. A remote user can send a specially crafted SRP_RSP with SRP_RSP_FLAG_SNSVALID set and a large resp_data_len value to cause a denial of service.
Exploitation requires that the initiator is logged into a malicious or compromised SRP target on the InfiniBand or RoCE fabric.
