Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90081)

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

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization in rds_cong_map_updated() when handling congestion map updates. A local user can race congestion map updates with waiter registration to cause a denial of service.

A sender waiting on a congested port can remain blocked until another congestion update arrives or a signal is delivered, and poll() waiters can miss map-update notifications.


Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
