  "description": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  net/rds: size a connection\u0027s path set by the transport it ends up with  __rds_conn_create() computes npaths from the caller\u0027s transport before it decides whether a connection to one of the host\u0027s own addresses is to be handled by the loopback transport instead.  That substitution is what an RDS/TCP socket sending to a local address gets, and after it the path init loop still runs for the TCP transport\u0027s RDS_MPATH_WORKERS paths and allocates an ordered workqueue for each, while rds_loop_conn_alloc() only ever provides transport data for path 0.  rds_conn_destroy() sizes its teardown from c_trans, by then the loopback transport, so it visits path 0 only - and rds_conn_path_destroy() would skip the other paths anyway, since it returns before destroy_workqueue() for a path without transport data. kfree(c_path) then drops the last pointers to seven workqueues.  That repeats for every such connection, on every netns teardown or module unload, and every distinct local destination address is a separate connection.  Recompute npaths once the transport is final, so that creation and destruction agree on the set of paths.  The c_path array stays sized for the caller\u0027s transport; the unused entries are freed with it.",
