Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-45910)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in QP timer handlers in the RDMA rxe subsystem when handling Queue Pair timer callbacks during Queue Pair destruction. A local user can trigger concurrent timer activity and Queue Pair teardown to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a reference count underflow and use-after-free warning during timer handler execution.
