CVE-2026-89506CVE-2026-89506
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/uverbs: Add UVERBS_ATTR_UHW to UVERBS_METHOD_REG_MR
The original commit missed that three drivers (mthca, irdma, siw) have UHW
data associated with reg_mr that cannot be passed through the ioctl. They
also assume that the udata cannot be NULL, so failing to pass a valid
udata can trigger a NULL udata crash in those drivers.
This never happens in real systems since in rdma-core ibv_cmd_reg_mr_ex()
does not accept a udata and those three drivers don't use it, however a
malicious userspace could trigger it.
