CVE-2026-93103

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Vulnerability in the hfi1 driver in the Linux kernel concerns the hfi1_free_devdata() function, which assumes the device was inserted into the unit table and unconditionally erases dd->unit. If xa_alloc_irq() fails, the zero-initialized unit remains zero, so full cleanup can remove an unrelated device from index 0.

Risk Assessment

This could lead to erroneous removal of another device from the system, potentially disrupting other subsystems.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that releases only the rdmavt allocation and returns immediately while the unit table has not acquired the device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hfi1: Preserve unit 0 on allocation failure hfi1_free_devdata() assumes that the device was inserted into the unit table and unconditionally erases dd->unit. If xa_alloc_irq() fails, the zero-initialized unit remains zero, so full cleanup can remove an unrelated device from index 0. Release only the rdmavt allocation and return immediately while the unit table has not acquired the device.
