Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53355)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 use-after-free in the rds ib connection teardown path when unwinding a failed queue pair setup. A local user can trigger a setup failure after allocating the send ring to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs when rds_ib_setup_qp() fails after allocating i_sends but before allocating i_recvs, leaving a stale pointer that may be treated as a live allocation during a later shutdown pass.
