CVE-2025-38372CVE-2025-38372
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix unsafe xarray access in implicit ODP handling
__xa_store() and __xa_erase() were used without holding the proper lock,
which led to a lockdep warning due to unsafe RCU usage. This patch
replaces them with xa_store() and xa_erase(), which perform the necessary
locking internally.
