An Oracle Linux 6 system with the
oracle-ofed-release packages installed and
an iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) target configured, fails
to login to the iSER target as an initiator. On the Oracle
Linux 6 initiator machine, the following behavior is typical:
# iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.iser-target.t1 -p 10.196.100.134 --login Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.iser-target.t1, portal: 10.196.100.134,3260] (multiple) iscsiadm: Could not login to [iface: default, target: iqn.iser-target.t1, portal: 10.196.100.134,3260]. iscsiadm: initiator reported error (8 - connection timed out) iscsiadm: Could not log into all portals
This is expected behavior resulting from an errata fix for CVE-2016-4564, to protect against a write from an invalid context.
