CVE-2023-54302: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix data race on CQP completion stats
Summary
A data race vulnerability (a situation where two parts of a program access the same data simultaneously without protection) was found in the Linux kernel's RDMA/irdma driver, where completion statistics were being read and written from different processor cores at the same time. The fix converts the completion statistics into an atomic variable (a thread-safe data type that ensures safe updates across multiple processors), preventing data corruption and compiler optimization issues.
Solution / Mitigation
Make completion statistics an atomic variable to reflect coherent updates to it. This will also avoid load/store tearing logic bug potentially possible by compiler optimizations.
