Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93151)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93151). 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:
nvmet-rdma: fix response resource leak on queue teardown
When an nvme target with rdma transport is removed while I/Os are in
flight, a response can be posted but its send completion is never
delivered before the connection is torn down. As a result
nvmet_rdma_send_done() and nvmet_rdma_release_rsp() are never called for
the response, and this leaks the allocated RDMA read/write context and
request SGLs.
These leaks are recreated by running blktests nvme/061 with the rdma
transport and the siw driver. Kernel kmemleak feature reports them as
follows:

CVE-2026-93151 (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.
