What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix double destruction of rsv_qp rsv_qp may be double destroyed in error flow, first in free_mr_init(), and then in hns_roce_exit(). Fix it by moving the free_mr_init() call into hns_roce_v2_init(). list_del corruption, ffff589732eb9b50->next is LIST_POISON1 (dead000000000100) WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1047115 at lib/list_debug.c:53 __list_del_entry_valid+0x148/0x240 ...

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-38582, a high vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation.
