 drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c in the Linux kernel through 4.17.11 allows
 ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure after a cleanup
 step in ucma_process_join, which allows attackers to cause a denial of
 service (use-after-free).

Clean cherry pick to Bionic and Trusty. Xenial has already been fixed thanks to
the fix coming in via linux-stable. I was unable to test the affected code due
to lack of necessary hardware. However, the build logs are clean and the fix is
easy to review.

Clean cherry-pick.

Applied to T and B.
Tyler, could you please include the [SRU] tag in the subject line to make it easy to identify the message as an SRU patch?
Thanks

Thanks!

Sure. I was talking to someone at the Brussels sprint about how the
[SRU] tag doesn't make much sense when [T/B] already indicates that it
is a patch for the SRU cycle. However, I hadn't thought about the fact
that searching through mail folders is much easier when [SRU] is
present. Thanks for pointing that out.
