CVE-2026-80880

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the IB/mlx5 driver has a vulnerability related to implicit ODP and rereg_mr operation. Due to child mkeys in the implicit ODP configuration, nothing can be changed in place for the parent mkey, so the whole structure must be rebuilt. Additionally, a race condition involving access to mr->pd by child keys was removed.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability may lead to memory state inconsistencies or errors in MR operations, potentially causing system malfunction or privilege escalation in RDMA environments.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for this vulnerability and to monitor distribution security advisories.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/mlx5: Properly support implicit ODP rereg_mr Due to all the child mkeys in the implicit ODP configuration we cannot change anything in place for the parent mkey. Instead the whole thing needs to be rebuilt if any change is requested. If the user does not specify a translation then force the implicit values which will then fall through the logic into mlx5_ib_reg_user_mr() to allocate a completely new MR. Since implicit children were also touching the mr->pd, this removes another case where the access was racy.
