CVE-2026-92514

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the RDMA/erdma driver has a use-after-free in the CEQ tasklet during device removal. free_irq() does not drain a tasklet already scheduled by the interrupt handler, so the tasklet can access freed EQ buffers (eq->qbuf or eq->dbrec) after erdma_eq_destroy().

Risk Assessment

Can lead to kernel memory corruption, system crash (panic), or potential privilege escalation on systems using erdma RDMA devices.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that kills the tasklet after free_irq() and before releasing EQ buffers. If updating is not possible, restrict access to RDMA device removal operations.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/erdma: Fix CEQ tasklet use-after-free on removal Each CEQ interrupt handler only schedules eqc->tasklet. The tasklet calls erdma_ceq_completion_handler(), which reads the DMA-coherent EQ ring through get_next_valid_eqe() and updates eq->dbrec through notify_eq(). erdma_ceqs_uninit() frees each CEQ IRQ and then destroys its EQ. free_irq() prevents another hard IRQ and waits for an in-flight handler, but it does not drain a tasklet that the handler already scheduled. The tasklet can therefore access eq->qbuf or eq->dbrec after erdma_eq_destroy() frees them. Clearing ceq_cb->ready does not synchronize with a tasklet that already passed the check at the start of erdma_ceq_completion_handler(). Kill the tasklet after free_irq(), when no handler can schedule it again, and before erdma_ceq_uninit_one() releases the EQ buffers.
