Vulnerability: A NULL pointer dereference was found in the net/rds/rdma.c __rds_rdma_map() function in the Linux kernel before 4.14.7 allowing local attackers to cause a system panic and a denial-of-service, related to RDS_GET_MR and RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST.
Vulnerability ID: CVE-2018-7492
CWE: CWE-476
Severity score: 6.9
Project: https://github.com/torvalds/linux
Published: 2018-02-26
File: net/rds/rdma.c
Commit message: rds: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __rds_rdma_map

This is a fix for syzkaller719569, where memory registration was
attempted without any underlying transport being loaded.

Analysis of the case reveals that it is the setsockopt() RDS_GET_MR
(2) and RDS_GET_MR_FOR_DEST (7) that are vulnerable.

Here is an example stack trace when the bug is hit:

The fix is to check the existence of an underlying transport in
__rds_rdma_map().
