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

svcrdma: Reject connection when transport allocation fails

handle_connect_req() returns without action when
svc_rdma_create_xprt() fails to allocate the new transport.
The CM core returns 0 for CONNECT_REQUEST events, so it does
not destroy the new rdma_cm_id. Each allocation failure under
memory pressure leaks one rdma_cm_id, and a remote peer driving
connection attempts can amplify this.

Reject the connection by returning a non-zero status from the
CM event handler, which tells the CM core to destroy the
orphaned cm_id.
