## Description

Integer overflow in the rds\_rdma\_pages function in net/rds/rdma.c in the
Linux kernel allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) and
possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted iovec struct in a Reliable
Datagram Sockets (RDS) request, which triggers a buffer overflow.

### From the Ubuntu Security Team

Thomas Pollet discovered that the RDS network protocol did not check
certain iovec buffers. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the
system or possibly execute arbitrary code as the root user.
