CVE-2014-2739 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The cma_req_handler function in drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c in the Linux kernel 3.14.x through 3.14.1 attempts to resolve an RDMA over Converged Ethernet (aka RoCE) address that is properly resolved within a different module, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect pointer dereference and system crash) via crafted network traffic.. EPSS estimates a 1.59% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
