Low risk49th percentile - higher than 49% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Linux kernel RDMA/rtrs-srv component, a vulnerability was found where the RDMA-Write length was not bounded to the chunk size. A malicious client can send a crafted READ request with an inflated descriptor length, causing memory read beyond the mapped chunk region.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes potential host memory disclosure (when no IOMMU or in passthrough mode) or connection abort (with translating IOMMU). A remote attacker peer can exploit this to leak sensitive kernel memory.
Recommendation
Apply the Linux kernel patch that adds descriptor length validation against max_chunk_size immediately. Update to a kernel version containing this fix.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-80923Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in the xhci: dbgtty driver, if tty_register_driver() fails, it drops the reference but fails to set the global dbc_tty_driver to NULL, causing the unregister to be called again when the module exits. This leads to a use-after-free condition.
- CVE-2026-80922Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in the crypto: qcom-rng module, the random number generator does not allow zero as an output, making its output distinguishable from truly random. Zero is a valid random number and should be allowed.
- CVE-2026-80920Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in io_uring, eventfd signaling is done inline when adding the first entry to the work list, which can cause issues when the addition is done from a wakeup handler context. The fix adds the IOU_F_TWQ_IN_WAKE flag to force deferral of signaling via call_rcu_hurry() instead of inline signaling.
- CVE-2026-80919Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found in the amdgpu driver where amdgpu_devcoredump_format() recursively acquires a ww_mutex lock. This can lead to a deadlock when dumping IB contents from a hung job. The fix moves the operation to a separate helper using a single drm_exec context.
- CVE-2026-80918Unknown
In the Linux kernel, in HID: core, there is a number/pointer type confusion on long items. When fetch_item() is called by hid_scan_report() on an item with HID_ITEM_TAG_LONG, it stores a pointer to the item data in item->data.longdata instead of storing a value directly. Functions item_udata() and item_sdata() incorrectly assume short format, leading to the lower part of a kernel pointer being printed as a number in dmesg.
- CVE-2026-80917Unknown
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel causes a NULL pointer dereference in the PCI host-generic driver on 32-bit systems using CAM mode. During PCI bus enumeration, the first config read uses an uninitialized mapping, leading to a kernel panic. The issue stems from missing add_bus/remove_bus callbacks in the CAM operations, which are necessary for proper mapping of the config space.
- CVE-2026-80916Unknown
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's KCOV mechanism causes data corruption and race conditions on PREEMPT_RT systems. The issue stems from storing temporary KCOV state in per-CPU areas, which can be overwritten by nested softirq preemption. Additionally, under certain initialization conditions, it may lead to kernel panic or memory leaks.
- CVE-2026-80915Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the drm/xe driver's DPT allocation paths were fixed. The fallback from VRAM to system memory was removed as it did not work and caused black screen with pipe faults. Also, stolen memory usage is avoided due to latency and risk of random system hangs under load.
- CVE-2026-80886Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the msm serial driver was fixed by disabling DMA for the console UART. Concurrent writes from userspace and the kernel can trigger a race condition resulting in an infinite loop of the same messages. The fix disables DMA for the console UART to ensure a reliable output path.
- CVE-2026-80885Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a fix was made for an uncancelled rxrpc OOB message handler in AFS. The fix cancels OOB message processing (typically to respond to security challenges) and moves it to afs_wq so it is also waited for. The OOB handler now returns if the net namespace is no longer live.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rtrs-srv: Bound RDMA-Write length to chunk size in rdma_write_sg When the server answers an RTRS READ, rdma_write_sg() builds the source scatter/gather entry for the IB_WR_RDMA_WRITE that returns data to the peer. Its length is taken directly from the wire descriptor: plist->length = le32_to_cpu(id->rd_msg->desc[0].len); rd_msg points into the chunk buffer that the remote peer filled via RDMA-WRITE-WITH-IMM (rtrs_srv_rdma_done() -> process_io_req() -> process_read()), so desc[0].len is attacker-controlled and, before this change, was only rejected when zero. The source address is the fixed chunk start (dma_addr[msg_id]) and the source lkey is the PD-wide local_dma_lkey, which is not tied to the chunk's MR mapping, so the verbs layer does not constrain the transfer length to max_chunk_size. msg_id and off are bounded against queue_depth and max_chunk_size in rtrs_srv_rdma_done(), but desc[0].len is a separate field that was not checked against the chunk size. A peer that advertises desc[0].len larger than max_chunk_size can make the posted RDMA write read past the chunk's mapped region. The resulting behaviour depends on the IOMMU configuration: with no IOMMU or in passthrough mode the read may extend into memory adjacent to the chunk and be returned to the peer, which can disclose host memory; with a translating IOMMU the out-of-range access is expected to fault and abort the connection. In either case the transfer exceeds what the protocol permits and is driven by a remote peer. Reject a descriptor length above max_chunk_size, mirroring the existing off >= max_chunk_size bound in rtrs_srv_rdma_done(). Legitimate clients do not exceed it: the client sets desc[0].len to its MR length, which is capped at the negotiated max_io_size (max_chunk_size - MAX_HDR_SIZE).
