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

RDMA/cma: Fix listener leak in rdma_cma_listen_on_all() failure

If cma_listen_on_all() fails it leaves the per-device ID still on the
listen_list but the state is not set to RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND.

When the cmid is eventually destroyed cma_cancel_listens() is not called
due to the wrong state, however the per-device IDs are still holding the
refcount preventing the ID from being destroyed, thus deadlocking:

Ensure that cma_listen_on_all() atomically unwinds its action under the
lock during error.
