Overview

CVE-2026-92514 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

RDMA/erdma: Fix CEQ tasklet use-after-free on removal

Each CEQ interrupt handler only schedules eqc->tasklet. The tasklet calls

erdma_ceq_completion_handler(), which reads the DMA-coherent EQ ring

through get_next_valid_eqe() and updates eq->dbrec through notify_eq().

erdma_ceqs_uninit() frees each CEQ IRQ and then destroys its EQ.

free_irq() prevents another hard IRQ and waits for an in-flight handler,

but it does not drain a tasklet that the handler already scheduled. The

tasklet can therefore access eq->qbuf or eq->dbrec after

erdma_eq_destroy() frees them.

Clearing ceq_cb->ready does not synchronize with a tasklet that already

passed the check at the start of erdma_ceq_completion_handler().

Kill the tasklet after free_irq(), when no handler can schedule it again,

and before erdma_ceq_uninit_one() releases the EQ buffers.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-92514?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-92514 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.
