It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-47261 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47261/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47261/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47261","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47261/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47261","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-47261","GHSA-2v93-g9j3-9q9h","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-47261"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel's InfiniBand driver causes a kernel panic during CQ resize operations, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-706","name":"Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nIB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer\n\nThe function init_cq_frag_buf() can be called to initialize the current CQ\nfragments buffer cq-\u003ebuf, or the temporary cq-\u003eresize_buf that is filled\nduring CQ resize operation.\n\nHowever, the offending commit started to use function get_cqe() for\ngetting the CQEs, the issue with this change is that get_cqe() always\nreturns CQEs from cq-\u003ebuf, which leads us to initialize the wrong buffer,\nand in case of enlarging the CQ we try to access elements beyond the size\nof the current cq-\u003ebuf and eventually hit a kernel panic.\n\n [exception RIP: init_cq_frag_buf+103]\n  [ffff9f799ddcbcd8] mlx5_ib_resize_cq at ffffffffc0835d60 [mlx5_ib]\n  [ffff9f799ddcbdb0] ib_resize_cq at ffffffffc05270df [ib_core]\n  [ffff9f799ddcbdc0] llt_rdma_setup_qp at ffffffffc0a6a712 [llt]\n  [ffff9f799ddcbe10] llt_rdma_cc_event_action at ffffffffc0a6b411 [llt]\n  [ffff9f799ddcbe98] llt_rdma_client_conn_thread at ffffffffc0a6bb75 [llt]\n  [ffff9f799ddcbec8] kthread at ffffffffa66c5da1\n  [ffff9f799ddcbf50] ret_from_fork_nospec_begin at ffffffffa6d95ddd\n\nFix it by getting the needed CQE by calling mlx5_frag_buf_get_wqe() that\ntakes the correct source buffer as a parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"IB/mlx5: Fix initializing CQ fragments buffer","id":"CVE-2021-47261","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"KVM: x86: Ensure liveliness of nested VM-Enter fail tracepoint message","id":"CVE-2021-47262"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"NFS: Fix a potential NULL dereference in nfs_get_client()","id":"CVE-2021-47260"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2024-05-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-05","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel's InfiniBand driver causes a kernel panic during CQ resize operations, leading to denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47261/"}
