CVE-2026-92523

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the RDMA nldev module's RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_STAT_HWCOUNTERS is a nested attribute whose children are consumed directly with nla_get_u32(). The top-level policy validates only the container, not the fixed shape of each child.

Risk Assessment

Missing length validation can lead to out-of-bounds reads or misinterpretation of data, causing a kernel crash or information disclosure.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version with the fix that requires every child payload to be exactly one u32 before reading it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/nldev: validate dynamic counter attribute length RDMA_NLDEV_ATTR_STAT_HWCOUNTERS is a nested attribute whose children are consumed directly with nla_get_u32(). The top-level policy validates only the container, so it does not establish the fixed shape of each child. Require every child payload to be exactly one u32 before reading it.
