Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72491)

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

CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in net/9p RDMA transport state handling in trans_rdma.c when processing RDMA connection events and receive completions concurrently with RDMA requests. A local user can trigger concurrent state transitions to corrupt the connection state machine and cause a denial of service.

The race can lead to lost state transitions during teardown and may result in use-after-free on RDMA request objects.
