Kernel-stack disclosure via uninitialized reserved response bytes
Published Mar 25, 2026 · Updated Mar 25, 2026
Information disclosure in the irdma driver in affected Linux Kernel releases allows local users to read four bytes of kernel stack memory. irdma_create_user_ah() assigns only ah_id in the eight-byte irdma_create_ah_resp structure before ib_respond_udata() copies the whole structure to user space, leaving rsvd[4] uninitialized. The user must have local low-privileged access and create an irdma user address handle; each successful response exposes four otherwise uninitialized bytes.

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.
