Local service crash via unchecked connection pointer
Published May 19, 2024 · Updated May 23, 2026
NULL pointer dereference in Linux kernel RDS RDMA mapping allows local users to crash the system through a failed memory-region request. The __rds_rdma_map function handles an error pointer from rds_ib_get_mr but dereferences cp->cp_conn without first rejecting a NULL cp argument. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and a configured RDS over InfiniBand path; the demonstrated consequence is a kernel crash only.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
