CVE-2023-53811 Detail

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Cap MSIX used to online CPUs + 1 The irdma driver can use a maximum number of msix vectors equal to num_online_cpus() + 1 and the kernel warning stack below is shown if that number is exceeded. The kernel throws a warning as the driver tries to update the affinity hint with a CPU mask greater than the max CPU IDs. Fix this by capping the MSIX vectors to num_online_cpus() + 1.
