Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46117)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to corrupt kernel memory.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in mana_ib_create_qp_rss() when processing user-supplied work queue configurations through the RDMA uAPI. A local user can specify work queues sharing the same completion queue to corrupt kernel memory.


2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53071)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to corrupt kernel memory.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in l2cap_ecred_reconf_rsp in the L2CAP subsystem when processing a crafted L2CAP ECRED reconfiguration response from a remote BLE device. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted L2CAP ECRED reconfiguration response to corrupt kernel memory.

Exploitation requires concurrent channel list iteration by another thread.
