net/rds: size a connection's path set by the transport it ends up with

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: size a connection's path set by the transport it ends up with __rds_conn_create() computes npaths from the caller's transport before it decides whether a connection to one of the host's own addresses is to be handled by the loopback transport instead. That substitution is what an RDS/TCP socket sending to a local address gets, and after it the path init loop still runs for the TCP transport's RDS_MPATH_WORKERS paths and allocates an ordered workqueue for each, while rds_loop_conn_alloc() only ever provides transport data for path 0. rds_conn_destroy() sizes its teardown from c_trans, by then the loopback transport, so it visits path 0 only - and rds_conn_path_destroy() would skip the other paths anyway, since it returns before destroy_workqueue() for a path without transport data. kfree(c_path) then drops the last pointers to seven workqueues. That repeats for every such connection, on every netns teardown or module unload, and every distinct local destination address is a separate connection. Recompute npaths once the transport is final, so that creation and destruction agree on the set of paths. The c_path array stays sized for the caller's transport; the unused entries are freed with it.
