CVE-2026-74396— RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure

Quick assessment

Affected
Linux Linux
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Linux kernel是美国Linux基金会开源的一个操作系统内核。 Linux kernel 6.16版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于mlx5_odp_populate_xlt()失败时错误路径直接返回，跳过XLT缓冲区清理，导致DMA映射和缓冲区泄漏，并可能使紧急XLT页互斥锁保持锁定，可能导致拒绝服务攻击。

Vulnerability Title
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() allocates and DMA maps an XLT buffer with mlx5r_umr_create_xlt(). The buffer is released by the common cleanup path through mlx5r_umr_unmap_free_xlt(). After mlx5_odp_populate_xlt() became fallible, its error path returned directly and skipped that cleanup. This leaks the XLT DMA mapping and buffer. If the emergency XLT page was used, it also leaves xlt_emergency_page_mutex locked. Break out of the loop so execution falls through the existing cleanup path.
