CVE-2011-0695 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Race condition in the cm_work_handler function in the InfiniBand driver (drivers/infiniband/core/cma.c) in Linux kernel 2.6.x allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (panic) by sending an InfiniBand request while other request handlers are still running, which triggers an invalid pointer dereference.. EPSS estimates a 1.19% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
