Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Linux kernel RDMA/rvt (rvt_alloc_device) is affected from 4.6 up to the fixes in the listed stable versions. When the port array allocation fails, the function frees the IB device but still returns its pointer, so callers dereference freed memory (use-after-free). The source does not describe the attacker's required access or the impact beyond this. Upgrade to a fixed Linux kernel version from the stable branch that contains the fix; no workaround is listed.
