Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix log flood after cmd_mbox failure hns_roce_cmd_mbox() is the command interface between driver and hardware. When hardware is abnormal, the unlimited error printings after hns_roce_cmd_mbox() failure will cause log flood and even system crash.
Replace ibdev_err() and ibdev_warn() with their ratelimited versions in the error handling path after hns_roce_cmd_mbox() (and its wrappers hns_roce_create_hw_ctx/hns_roce_destroy_hw_ctx) fails. When the hardware experiences an abnormality, the `hns_roce_cmd_mbox()` command interface can fail.
This failure leads to an uncontrolled flood of error messages, which can consume system resources and ultimately cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-779. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
