CVE-2026-46053
Published: May 27, 2026· Updated: Jun 1, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: rds: fix MR cleanup on copy error
__rds_rdma_map() hands sg/pages ownership to the transport after
get_mr() succeeds. If copying the generated cookie back to user space
fails after that point, the error path must not free those resources
again before dropping the MR reference.
Remove the duplicate unpin/free from the put_user() failure branch so
that MR teardown is handled only through the existing final cleanup
path.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46053 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
