Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-06 09:31:03 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/bnxt_re: check create_singlethread_workqueue() in DCB setup

bnxt_re_init_dcb_wq() ignores a failed allocation. The async DCB
handler later calls queue_work() on the NULL pointer.
