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

RDMA/rxe: Fix OOB in free_rd_atomic_resources()

free_rd_atomic_resources() iterates using qp->attr.max_dest_rd_atomic.
Updating max_dest_rd_atomic before freeing the old array can make the
free path walk past the old allocation and trigger a slab out-of-bounds
