Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xprtrdma component. This vulnerability occurs when the rpcrdma_post_recvs() function fails to create a work request or exits prematurely, leading to the re_receiving counter not being decremented. This improper resource handling can cause the system to hang indefinitely, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected systems, particularly under high memory pressure.
Statement
