Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98359)

CWE-ID: CWE-672 - Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause an RDMA port query to operate on an unregistered and uninitialized network device.

The vulnerability exists due to a missing registration-state check in ib_get_eth_speed() when processing asynchronous RDMA port queries during network device unregistration. A local user can trigger an asynchronous RDMA port query to cause an RDMA port query to operate on an unregistered and uninitialized network device.

The reference returned by ib_device_get_netdev() keeps the network device structure allocated but does not ensure that the device remains operational. The ethtool callback can be invoked after NETDEV_UNREGISTER and ndo_uninit have completed.
