Remote system hang via reclaim-unsafe workqueue flush
Published Oct 21, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Denial of service in Linux kernel RDMA/iwcm allows remote attackers to hang systems through unauthenticated iWARP traffic. iwcm_wq is allocated without WQ_MEM_RECLAIM, yet CM ID destruction flushes it from a reclaim-capable workqueue, breaking forward progress. Reachability requires an in-kernel NVMe-oF target over iWARP or a comparable RDMA path, and the result is a kernel warning, panic, or deadlock rather than data access.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
