CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as very critical was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.18.51/7.2.5. This vulnerability affects the function mana_table_store_ud_qp of the component mana_ib. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a use after free vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-416. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mana_ib: drain QP references after partial table insertion mana_table_store_ud_qp() publishes a QP at its send-queue id before inserting the receive-queue id, dropping the XArray lock between the two xa_insert_irq() calls. A concurrent completion handler can look up the QP and take a transient reference. When the second insertion fails, the rollback erased only the send-queue entry and returned, leaving both the initial table reference and the transient reference outstanding while RDMA core frees the QP, causing a use-after-free. Drain the reference as normal destruction does: drop the initial reference and wait for qp->free, releasing the QP only after every concurrent lookup returns its reference.

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability was named CVE-2026-92513 since 09/16/2026. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be initiated remotely. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit. The structure of the vulnerability defines a possible price range of USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/17/2026).

Upgrading to version 6.18.52, 7.2.6 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability.
