3th percentile - higher than 3% of all known CVEs

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the RDMA/mana driver removed a user-triggerable WARN_ON() call. Specifying multiple work queues (WQs) sharing the same completion queue (CQ) via the uAPI would trigger WARN_ON() and then corrupt the kernel.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with user privileges can intentionally trigger WARN_ON(), leading to kernel memory corruption and potential privilege escalation or system crash.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that rejects invalid WQ/CQ configurations instead of triggering WARN_ON().

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mana: Remove user triggerable WARN_ON() in mana_ib_create_qp_rss() Sashiko points out that the user can specify WQs sharing the same CQ as a part of the uAPI and this will trigger the WARN_ON() then go on to corrupt the kernel. Just reject it outright and fail the QP creation.
