CVE-2026-89846

CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the scsi: qla2xxx driver's qla2x00_status_entry() did not bound rsp_info_len from the target's FCP response, causing par_sense_len underflow and an out-of-bounds sense-data read when a hostile or buggy target reported a large value. This could leak adjacent heap memory into the sense buffer.

Risk Assessment

Can lead to kernel memory disclosure to user space and system crashes.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that clamps rsp_info_len to par_sense_len before the subtraction.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Bound rsp_info_len to avoid OOB sense-data read In qla2x00_status_entry(), the FWI2 status path advances sense_data and shrinks par_sense_len by rsp_info_len: if (IS_FWI2_CAPABLE(ha)) { sense_data += rsp_info_len; par_sense_len -= rsp_info_len; } rsp_info_len is a 32-bit value taken directly from the target's FCP response (sf.rsp_data_len), while par_sense_len is the IOCB data area size (28 bytes for 24xx, 60 bytes for 29xx). A hostile or buggy target reporting an rsp_info_len larger than par_sense_len makes the unsigned subtraction underflow to a huge value and advances sense_data out of bounds. The underflowed par_sense_len then defeats the cap in qla2x00_handle_sense(): if (sense_len > par_sense_len) sense_len = par_sense_len; memcpy(cp->sense_buffer, sense_data, sense_len); so the memcpy reads up to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE bytes from the out-of-bounds sense_data pointer, leaking adjacent response-ring/heap memory into the command's sense buffer. Clamp rsp_info_len to par_sense_len before the subtraction so par_sense_len can never underflow and sense_data stays within the IOCB data area. The fix sits before the comp_status switch, covering both qla2x00_handle_sense() call sites.
