Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Soft iWARP (siw) component, which handles high-performance data transfer. This vulnerability occurs when the system processes a specially crafted connection request, leading to a 'use-after-free' error. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service (DoS), making the affected system unresponsive.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-15 06:36:14 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/siw: Fix endpoint/socket association handling

Disassociating a socket from an endpoint via siw_socket_disassoc() may
release the last reference on that endpoint and free it. Therefore, don't
clear the endpoints socket pointer after calling that function, but
within.

This fixes a:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in siw_cm_work_handler (drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_cm.c:1053 drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_cm.c:1075)

which occurred after processing a malformed MPA request during connection
establishment, causing the new endpoint to be closed.
