Overview

CVE-2026-43469 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 8, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

Technical description

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

xprtrdma: Decrement re_receiving on the early exit paths

In the event that rpcrdma_post_recvs() fails to create a work request

(due to memory allocation failure, say) or otherwise exits early, we

should decrement ep->re_receiving before returning. Otherwise we will

hang in rpcrdma_xprt_drain() as re_receiving will never reach zero and

the completion will never be triggered.

On a system with high memory pressure, this can appear as the following

hung task:

INFO: task kworker/u385:17:8393 blocked for more than 122 seconds.

Tainted: G S E 6.19.0 #3

"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

task:kworker/u385:17 state:D stack:0 pid:8393 tgid:8393 ppid:2 task_flags:0x4248060 flags:0x00080000

Workqueue: xprtiod xprt_autoclose [sunrpc]

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-43469?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine.
