CVE-2026-90173CVE-2026-90173
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: smbdirect: free completion queues with ib_free_cq()
smbdirect_connection_destroy_qp() creates the send and receive completion
queues with ib_alloc_cq_any(), which for IB_POLL_WORKQUEUE arms an
internal completion handler that runs ib_cq_poll_work() on a workqueue.
Tearing those CQs down with ib_destroy_cq() frees them without first
cancelling that poll work.
If the provider posts a completion late -- for example Soft-RoCE (rxe)
posting an RNR error from rxe_receiver() after rdma_destroy_qp() -- the
handler re-queues ib_cq_poll_work() on the already-freed CQ, and a
follow-on access faults in rxe_req_notify_cq().
Use ib_free_cq(), which cancel_work_sync()es the poll work before freeing
the CQ, so no completion handler can run against a freed queue.
