CVE-2026-46325
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) subsystem, specifically within the rxe component. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect conversion of I/O Virtual Addresses (iova) to Virtual Addresses (va) when Memory Regions (MRs) have page sizes that differ from the system's PAGE_SIZE. An attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to cause incorrect memory access, which may lead to system instability or a kernel panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
