Overview

CVE-2026-93153 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/bng_re: return a timeout when firmware responses stall

__wait_for_resp() documents that it returns a non-zero error when a

firmware command does not complete, and bng_re_rcfw_send_message() already

marks the firmware as stalled when the helper returns -ENODEV.

However, the helper ignores wait_event_timeout() expiry. If the response

slot remains in use after the timeout and after the polled CREQ service

attempt, the loop starts another full timeout period and can repeat

forever.

Return -ENODEV after a timed out wait that still has no response. The

existing caller then marks FIRMWARE_STALL_DETECTED and returns

-ETIMEDOUT to the command issuer.
