CVE-2026-43055

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel related to improper initialization of the aio_cmd->iocb structure in target_core_file. This issue may lead to incorrect write failure statuses during write command execution.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may experience reliability issues with write operations in systems using this component, potentially leading to data loss or application errors.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to benefit from the fix that implements kzalloc_flex for aio_cmd.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: target: file: Use kzalloc_flex for aio_cmd The target_core_file doesn't initialize the aio_cmd->iocb for the ki_write_stream. When a write command fd_execute_rw_aio() is executed, we may get a bogus ki_write_stream value, causing unintended write failure status when checking iocb->ki_write_stream > max_write_streams in the block device. Let's just use kzalloc_flex when allocating the aio_cmd and let ki_write_stream=0 to fix this issue.
