In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/core: Fix potential use after free in ib_free_cq()

When accessing a CQ via the netlink path the only synchronization mechanism for the said CQ is rdma_restrack_get(). Currently, rdma_restrack_del() is invoked at the end of ib_free_cq(), which is too late, since by that point vendor-specific resources associated with the CQ might already be freed. This can leave a short window where the CQ remains accessible through restrack, leading to a potential use-after-free.

Fix this by moving the rdma_restrack_del() call to be before the freeing of the vendor-specific resources ensuring that the CQ is removed from restrack before its internal resources are released. This guarantees that no new users hold references to a CQ that is in the process of destruction.

No fix is confirmed yet. Restrict network exposure of the affected system or apply the vendor's mitigation within your standard update timelines at low or medium mission impact and sooner than that at high, and watch the vendor's advisory for the fix.

Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
