CVE-2026-52908: Linux Kernel

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA: During rereg_mr ensure that REREG_ACCESS is compatible If IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS changes from RO to RW then the umem has to be re-evaluated to ensure it is properly pinned as RW. Since the umem is hidden inside each driver's mr struct add a ib_umem_check_rereg() function that each driver has to call before processing IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS. mlx4 has to retain its duplicate ib_access_writable check because it implements IB_MR_REREG_ACCESS | IB_MR_REREG_TRANS by changing both items in place sequentially while the MR is live, so it will continue to not support this combination.

Affected products

• Linux Linux Kernel: from 6.2, before 6.6.143 (fixed in 6.6.143); from 6.7, before 6.12.94 (fixed in 6.12.94); from 6.13, before 6.18.36 (fixed in 6.18.36); from 6.19, before 7.0.13 (fixed in 7.0.13); version 7.1 only
