The Linux kernel fix for CVE-2025-38211 closes a subtle but dangerous lifetime-management bug in the RDMA iWCM (InfiniBand/RDMA Connection Management) stack: work objects allocated per cm_id could be used after they were freed, causing kernel memory corruption and deterministic crashes that...

CVE-2025-37867 is a modest but instructive Linux-kernel fix in the RDMA stack: upstream maintainers silenced an oversized kvmalloc() warning in RDMA/core by adding a no-warn allocation flag, and Microsoft’s initial public mapping names Azure Linux as a product that “includes this open‑source...

A Linux kernel vulnerability identified as CVE-2025-68379 has been published to fix a null‑pointer dereference in the RDMA soft‑RoCE driver (rxe) that can crash the kernel when Shared Receive Queue (SRQ) resizing fails and callers invoke the modify operation twice in succession. The upstream...

The Linux kernel received a targeted fix for a race in the RDMA mlx5 driver that could leave work requests unaccounted for during recovery of the UMR Queue Pair (QP), tracked as CVE‑2025‑21892; the patch adds a final, barrier work request to guarantee completion of outstanding WRs before the QP...

A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability in the RDMA/siw stack — tracked as CVE‑2024‑57857 — can cause a kernel-mode use‑after‑free (KASAN slab-use-after-free) in siw_query_port, producing a hard availability failure and forcing reboots or kernel oopses on affected systems; operators must...

CIFS is not a modern alternative to SMB — it’s the 1996 dialect of SMB 1.0, and continuing to treat CIFS as a current protocol in 2025 leaves organizations exposed to well-known security flaws and performance shortfalls. The choice for any Windows-heavy network today is not “CIFS vs SMB” as if...
