CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2026-46053 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

High CVSS 7.8

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: rds: fix MR cleanup on copy error __rds_rdma_map() hands sg/pages ownership to the transport after get_mr() succeeds. If copying the generated cookie back to user space fails after that point, the error path must not free those resources again before dropping the MR reference. Remove the duplicate unpin/free from the put_user() failure branch so that MR teardown is handled only through the existing final cleanup path.

General vulnerability remediation

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Confirm the affected component, deployment paths, reachable interfaces, and enabled features from inventories and configuration, without probing production destructively.
  • Compare the advisory's affected conditions with the repository lockfiles, build manifests, artifacts, and runtime inventory.
  • Identify data sensitivity, trust boundaries, and privilege level for every confirmed affected deployment.

Remediate safely

  • Apply a vendor-supported fix or remove the affected component or feature; record the selected change and its source in the repository.
  • Update direct and transitive dependency locks, generated artifacts, deployment manifests, and asset inventories together.
  • Add a regression test for the documented unsafe condition using inert inputs and preserve rollback instructions.
