What it is

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

RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event

irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from "neigh" (alias

"ptr") until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE.

Other events come with different structures pointed to by "ptr" and they

may be smaller than struct neighbour.

Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case.

The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels:

BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in irdma_net_event+0x32e/0x3b0 [irdma]
