1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72306)

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

CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in vduse_dev_msg_sync and vduse_dev_read_iter in drivers/vdpa/vdpa_user/vduse_dev.c when handling VDUSE device message processing. A local user can trigger concurrent message operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a double list_del() crash when a timed-out message is concurrently removed.
