LIN1025-8906 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2026-23463

Created: Apr 7, 2026    Updated: Apr 9, 2026
Found In Version: 10.25.33.2
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 25
Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

soc: fsl: qbman: fix race condition in qman_destroy_fq

When QMAN_FQ_FLAG_DYNAMIC_FQID is set, there's a race condition between
fq_table[fq->idx] state and freeing/allocating from the pool and
WARN_ON(fq_table[fq->idx]) in qman_create_fq() gets triggered.

Indeed, we can have:
         Thread A                             Thread B
    qman_destroy_fq()                    qman_create_fq()
      qman_release_fqid()
        qman_shutdown_fq()
        gen_pool_free()
           -- At this point, the fqid is available again --
                                           qman_alloc_fqid()
           -- so, we can get the just-freed fqid in thread B --
                                           fq->fqid = fqid;
                                           fq->idx = fqid * 2;
                                           WARN_ON(fq_table[fq->idx]);
                                           fq_table[fq->idx] = fq;
     fq_table[fq->idx] = NULL;

And adding some logs between qman_release_fqid() and
fq_table[fq->idx] = NULL makes the WARN_ON() trigger a lot more.

To prevent that, ensure that fq_table[fq->idx] is set to NULL before
gen_pool_free() is called by using smp_wmb().
