CVE-2016-6327 (published 2016-10-16T21:59Z)

drivers/infiniband/ulp/srpt/ib_srpt.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) by using an ABORT_TASK command to abort a device write operation.

msg: IB/srpt: Simplify srpt_handle_tsk_mgmt()

Let the target core check task existence instead of the SRP target
driver. Additionally, let the target core check the validity of the
task management request instead of the ib_srpt driver.

This patch fixes the following kernel crash:
