It uses NULL\npointers to distinguish resources that are still owned from resources\nthat have already been released.\n\nWhen rds_ib_setup_qp() fails after allocating i_sends but before\nallocating i_recvs, the sends_out path frees i_sends without clearing\nthe pointer. A later shutdown pass can still treat that stale pointer\nas a live send ring allocation.\n\nClear i_sends after vfree() in the error unwind path so the existing\nshutdown logic continues to use the correct ownership state.","published":"2026-07-01T14:16:44.000Z","lastModified":"2026-07-22T19:14:37.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-476"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00421,"percentile":0.36249,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.42%).
