GHSA-4Q86-C76W-9MX5

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-09 03:31 – Updated: 2025-12-09 03:31

Details

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

RDMA/irdma: Cap MSIX used to online CPUs + 1

The irdma driver can use a maximum number of msix vectors equal to num_online_cpus() + 1 and the kernel warning stack below is shown if that number is exceeded.

The kernel throws a warning as the driver tries to update the affinity hint with a CPU mask greater than the max CPU IDs. Fix this by capping the MSIX vectors to num_online_cpus() + 1.
