Details

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

RDMA/mlx5: Initialize the ODP xarray when creating an ODP MR

Normally the zero fill would hide the missing initialization, but an errant set to desc_size in reg_create() causes a crash:

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
