CVE-2026-64472
Estado: RecibidaSin puntuar—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/mlx5: Fix racy bitfields and tighten struct layout
Bitfield operations are not atomic, they use a read-modify-write pattern, therefore we should be careful not to pack bitfields that can be concurrently updated into the same storage unit.
This split takes a binary approach: flags that are only modified pre/post open/close remain bitfields, flags modified from user action, including actions that reach across to another device (ex. reset) use dedicated storage units.
Note mlx5_vhca_page_tracker.status is relocated to fill the alignment hole this split exposes.
