Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2026-43494
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A double-free issue exists in the Reliable Delivery Service (RDS) implementation of the Linux kernel. When the `iov iter get pages2()` function fails within `rds message zcopy from user()`, the pinned pages are released and the `rm->data.op mmp znotifier` is cleared, but the `rm->data.op nents` variable is not properly reset. Consequently, when `rds message purge()` is subsequently called from `rds sendmsg()`, the cleanup loop iterates over the incorrect non-zero value of `op nents`, leading to a second attempt to free the same resources.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
