Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Fix a user-after-free in add_pble_prm When irdma_hmc_sd_one fails, 'chunk' is freed while its still on the PBLE info list. Add the chunk entry to the PBLE info list only after successful setting of the SD in irdma_hmc_sd_one.
