1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98252)

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

CVSSv4: 7.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in reference count initialization in iwpm_get_nlmsg_request() in the Linux kernel RDMA core when publishing a request to a global list before initializing its reference count. A local user can trigger concurrent access to the incompletely initialized request to compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
