How severe is CVE-2026-46265?

CVE-2026-46265 has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which products are affected by CVE-2026-46265?

Affected package information for CVE-2026-46265 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I patch CVE-2026-46265?

Apply the linux linux kernel security patch or hotfix for CVE-2026-46265 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.

How do I detect CVE-2026-46265 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every linux linux kernel deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-46265 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-46265?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2026-46265 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2026-46265 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-46265 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-46265?

CVE-2026-46265 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.4%, placing it in the 29th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2026-46265?

CVE-2026-46265 affects linux linux kernel. Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

When was CVE-2026-46265 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-46265 was published on June 3, 2026 and was last updated on June 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/hns: Fix WQ_MEM_RECLAIM warning

When sunrpc is used, if a reset triggered, our wq may lead the following trace:

Since QP destruction frees memory, this wq should have the WQ_MEM_RECLAIM.

Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for exploitation at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.
Fix
Apply the linux linux kernel security patch or hotfix for CVE-2026-46265 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.
Workarounds
Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature.
