Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90293)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90293). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/isert: post the full-feature receive buffers after session registration
isert_put_login_tx() posts the full-feature receive buffers before
__transport_register_session() runs, so an initiator that does not wait
for the final Login Response can still have a SCSI command executed
against an se_session whose se_tpg is NULL - the same oops as the
previous patch, at target_submit+0xbe.
Post them from isert_get_rx_pdu(), which the previous patch already uses
to send that response, and post them before that send: the receive queue
is filled at the moment the initiator is told it may use it. Allocating
there keeps the existing property that a memory allocation failure cannot
happen once the final Login Response is on the wire.
The receive queue is already empty between the final Login Request and
isert_post_recvm(); this moves the second point later, from a median of
92 us to 172 us over 1200 logins. Only an initiator that sends before it
has been told to can reach that window, and on IB and RoCE its send is
retried there until the buffers appear - isert_rdma_accept() asks for
rnr_retry_count = 7. iWARP has no RNR flow control, so there the same
send terminates the connection instead.
Measured over rxe, 400 login cycles per run, with an initiator that does
not wait: an instrumented build counted no entries to isert_recv_done()
before the buffers are posted in 10 runs, where that initiator oopsed
8 of 10 un…

CVE-2026-90293 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 7.5
Attack vector: remote (network-reachable) / unauthenticated / no user interaction
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
