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

RDMA/rxe: Fix TOCTOU heap overflow in get_srq_wqe

get_srq_wqe() reads wqe->dma.num_sge from the shared receive queue
buffer, which is mapped into userspace. It validates num_sge against
max_sge, but then re-reads the same field to calculate the memcpy
size. A concurrent userspace thread can modify num_sge between
validation and use, causing a heap buffer overflow when copying the
WQE into qp->resp.srq_wqe.

Read num_sge into a local variable and use it for both the bounds
check and the size calculation.
