Description
A flaw was found in the accel/qaic component of the Linux kernel. When a user process terminates before the device's deactivation transaction for a Device-Bound Context (DBC) is fully processed, the host system can become out of sync with available DBCs. This can lead to a denial of service, where a subsequent user attempting to activate a network may experience their process hanging indefinitely if assigned the same DBC.
