Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2011-0695
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel versions 2.6.x
**Description**
The issue is related to a race condition in the `cm work handler` function of the InfiniBand driver. This condition allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending an InfiniBand request while other request handlers are still running, resulting in an invalid pointer dereference.
**Recommendations**
For Linux kernel version 2.6.x, consider disabling the `cm work handler` function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the InfiniBand driver to minimize the risk of exploitation.
