CVE-2026-93153

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, __wait_for_resp() in the RDMA/bng_re driver ignored wait_event_timeout() expiry. If the response slot remained in use after the timeout and the polled CREQ service attempt, the loop started another full timeout period and could repeat forever.

Risk Assessment

This may cause a kernel thread to hang in an infinite wait loop, resulting in a system hang or degradation.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version where a timed out wait with no response returns -ENODEV, and the caller marks FIRMWARE_STALL_DETECTED and returns -ETIMEDOUT.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/bng_re: return a timeout when firmware responses stall __wait_for_resp() documents that it returns a non-zero error when a firmware command does not complete, and bng_re_rcfw_send_message() already marks the firmware as stalled when the helper returns -ENODEV. However, the helper ignores wait_event_timeout() expiry. If the response slot remains in use after the timeout and after the polled CREQ service attempt, the loop starts another full timeout period and can repeat forever. Return -ENODEV after a timed out wait that still has no response. The existing caller then marks FIRMWARE_STALL_DETECTED and returns -ETIMEDOUT to the command issuer.
