Technical description

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

svcrdma: wake sq waiters when the transport closes

Threads parked in svc_rdma_sq_wait() on sc_sq_ticket_wait or

sc_send_wait can hang indefinitely in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state

across transport teardown, pinning svc_xprt references and

blocking svc_rdma_free().

The close path sets XPT_CLOSE before invoking xpo_detach and both

wait_event predicates include an XPT_CLOSE term, but the

predicates are re-evaluated only on wakeup. sc_sq_ticket_wait has

no completion-driven wake path; it is advanced solely by the

chained ticket handoff inside svc_rdma_sq_wait() itself. Without

an explicit wake at close, parked threads never observe

XPT_CLOSE, hold their svc_xprt_get reference forever, and

svc_rdma_free() blocks on xpt_ref dropping to zero.

Two close entry points reach this transport. Local teardown runs

svc_rdma_detach() from svc_handle_xprt() -> svc_delete_xprt() ->

xpo_detach() on a worker thread. A remote disconnect ar

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64281?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64281 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
