CVE-2026-98367 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-98367: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/siw: Clear association under lock if siw_qp_modify fails in siw_accept We need to clear cep before release state_lock as siw_qp_llp_close and siw_qp_modify->siw_qp_llp_close did. Otherwise if siw_qp_modify() fails in siw_accept(), the QP's state_lock is released before the error path cleanup. A concurrent ibv_modify_qp() transitioning the QP to ERROR can race in this window: siw_accept() ibv_modify_qp(ERROR) ---------------------- ---------------------- siw_qp_modify() fails up_write(&qp->state_lock) down_write(&qp->state_lock) nextstate_from_idle(): if (qp->cep) siw_cep_put(qp->cep) <- frees cep qp->cep = NULL goto error cep->qp = NULL <- UAF Clear qp->cep and drop the association reference taken by siw_cep_get(), all under the write lock held from the initial down_write(&qp->state_lock). Thread B therefore sees qp->cep == NULL, skips its own put, and cannot free the cep before siw_accept() is done with it.

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-98367

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-98367 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-98367

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-98367.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-98367, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
