CVE-2025-22091: kernel: RDMA/mlx5: Fix page_size variable overflow
Component: kernel
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
Public date: 2025-04-16T00:00:00+00:00

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/mlx5: Fix page_size variable overflow

Change all variables storing mlx5_umem_mkc_find_best_pgsz() result to
unsigned long to support values larger than 31 and avoid overflow.

For example: If we try to register 4GB of memory that is contiguous in
physical memory, the driver will optimize the page_size and try to use
an mkey with 4GB entity size. The 'unsigned int' page_size variable will
overflow to '0' and we'll hit the WARN_ON() in alloc_cacheable_mr().
