Subject[PATCH] rds: fix local ping DoS
Date
The rds_ib_xmit function in net/rds/ib_send.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets
(RDS) protocol implementation allows local users to cause a denial of service
(BUG_ON and kernel panic) by establishing an RDS connection with the source
IP address equal to the IPoIB interface's own IP address, as demonstrated by
rds-ping.

A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2012-2372
