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-2025-21892 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-2025-21892/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21892/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-21892","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-21892/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-21892","record":{"aliases":["AZL-62678","BELL-CVE-2025-21892","DEBIAN-CVE-2025-21892","GHSA-x4h3-99vh-7946","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2025-21892","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2025-21892","UBUNTU-CVE-2025-21892"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel RDMA driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel RDMA mlx5 driver can cause tasks to hang, leading to a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRDMA/mlx5: Fix the recovery flow of the UMR QP\n\nThis patch addresses an issue in the recovery flow of the UMR QP,\nensuring tasks do not get stuck, as highlighted by the call trace [1].\n\nDuring recovery, before transitioning the QP to the RESET state, the\nsoftware must wait for all outstanding WRs to complete.\n\nFailing to do so can cause the firmware to skip sending some flushed\nCQEs with errors and simply discard them upon the RESET, as per the IB\nspecification.\n\nThis race condition can result in lost CQEs and tasks becoming stuck.\n\nTo resolve this, the patch sends a final WR which serves only as a\nbarrier before moving the QP state to RESET.\n\nOnce a CQE is received for that final WR, it guarantees that no\noutstanding WRs remain, making it safe to transition the QP to RESET and\nsubsequently back to RTS, restoring proper functionality.\n\nNote:\nFor the barrier WR, we simply reuse the failed and ready WR.\nSince the QP is in an error state, it will only receive\nIB_WC_WR_FLUSH_ERR.
