rxrpc subsystem
About this tag
The RxRPC subsystem tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the Linux kernel's RxRPC (Rx Remote Procedure Call) implementation, including security vulnerabilities, bug fixes, and technical improvements. Recent content highlights CVE-2026-23118, a data-race fix in the RxRPC receive path that also resolved a load/store tearing issue on 32-bit systems. Topics include kernel networking, receive-and-keepalive logic, and the impact of such fixes on system stability. While the tag focuses on Linux kernel internals, it may be relevant to Windows users running Linux subsystems or virtualized environments. The content is technical, aimed at developers, system administrators, and security researchers interested in kernel-level networking and vulnerability management.
In February 2026, the Linux kernel’s RxRPC subsystem received a small-looking but technically important correction: a data-race warning was eliminated, and a possible load/store tearing problem on 32-bit systems was removed at the same time. The issue landed as CVE-2026-23118, and while it is...
