CVE-2026-31492 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Initialize free_qp completion before using it In irdma_create_qp, if ib_copy_to_udata fails, it will call irdma_destroy_qp to clean up which will attempt to wait on the free_qp completion, which is not initialized yet. Fix this by initializing the completion before the ib_copy_to_udata call.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
