CVE-2026-98367

7.8 high Published

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/siw: Clear association under lock if siw_qp_modify fails in siw_accept We need to clear cep before release state_lock as siw_qp_llp_close and siw_qp_modify->siw_qp_llp_close did. Otherwise if siw_qp_modify() fails in siw_accept(), the QP's state_lock is released before the error path cleanup. A concurrent ibv_modify_qp() transitioning the QP to ERROR can race in this window: siw_accept() ibv_modify_qp(ERROR) ---------------------- ---------------------- siw_qp_modify() fails up_write(&qp->state_lock) down_write(&qp->state_lock) nextstate_from_idle(): if (qp->cep) siw_cep_put(qp->cep) <- frees cep qp->cep = NULL goto error cep->qp = NULL <- UAF Clear qp->cep and drop the association reference taken by siw_cep_get(), all under the write lock held from the initial down_write(&qp->state_lock). Thread B therefore sees qp->cep == NULL, skips its own put, and cannot free the cep before siw_accept() is done with it.
