Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-93109

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150898

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-93109

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to a failure to wait for queued RCU callbacks in mlx5_ib module teardown when closing a DevX event file or detaching auxiliary driver devices. A local user can close a DevX event file to cause a denial of service.

The issue can also occur during registration error unwinding after driver registration attaches existing devices before failing.
