1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52908)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain write access to memory regions that were not properly pinned as writable.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in RDMA memory region re-registration handling when changing IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS from read-only to read-write. A local user can re-register a memory region with writable access to gain write access to memory regions that were not properly pinned as writable.

The issue occurs when a driver reuses an existing umem during memory region re-registration.
