CVE-2016-4565

[Steve Beattie]

The InfiniBand (aka IB) stack in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 incorrectly relies on the write system call, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (kernel memory write operation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a uAPI interface.

Break-Fix: - e6bd18f57aad1a2d1ef40e646d03ed0f2515c9e3
