Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/core: Validate cpu_id against nr_cpu_ids in DMAH alloc
The cpu_id attribute supplied by user space through
UVERBS_ATTR_ALLOC_DMAH_CPU_ID is passed directly to cpumask_test_cpu()
without first verifying that the value is within the valid CPU range.
Passing such untrusted data to cpumask_test_cpu() may lead to an
out-of-bounds read of the underlying cpumask bitmap: the helper expands
to a test_bit() that indexes the bitmap by cpu_id / BITS_PER_LONG with
no bound check.
In addition, on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS it trips
the WARN_ON_ONCE() in cpumask_check(); combined with panic_on_warn this
turns a bad user input into a machine reboot.
Reject any cpu_id that is not smaller than nr_cpu_ids with -EINVAL
before it is used.
Reported by Smatch.
