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

RDMA/rxe: Clear all QP fields if creation failed

rxe_qp_do_cleanup() relies on valid pointer values in QP for the properly
created ones, but in case rxe_qp_from_init() failed it was filled with
garbage and caused tot the following error.

refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
