the same TX path serves network-facing kernel ULPs (nfsd/RDMA, ksmbd SMB Direct, nvmet-rdma) layered on soft-iWARP, and the out-of-bounds data is copied into the TCP skb and sent back over the network.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically creates the overrun by choosing a non-page-aligned local offset with a transfer length ≥ PAGE_SIZE, which forces `size > bytes` on the very first iteration; `zcopy_tx` is on by default and READ.Responses are always non-signalled, so no race or unpredictable state is involved.\nPR:N - A remote iWARP peer needs only an established MPA/TCP connection to a soft-iWARP target — nvmet-rdma and NFS/RDMA targets accept connections with no transport-level authentication, and the ≥4 KB kmalloc-backed reply/READ-Response path is exercised immediately after connect.\nUI:N - The overrun happens entirely inside the kernel's RDMA transmit path while servicing a peer-initiated request; no local user has to open, mount, or click anything.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and its consequences are confined to the kernel's own memory and the affected RDMA connection, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary.\nC:H - `iterate_bvec()` fabricates `struct page *` values from stack residue and copies memory from those arbitrary kernel addresses into the outgoing TCP stream, so kernel memory — up to ~64 KB per FPDU — is disclosed directly to the remote peer, an effectively arbitrary kernel read primitive.\nI:H - Kernel memory is substituted for legitimate RDMA payload delivered to the peer, silently corrupting data that NFS/RDMA, SMB Direct, and NVMe-oF clients commit to files and block devices, and the oversized return value underflows the `size_t bytes` counter, corrupting siw's send-length accounting and retry loop.\nA:H - Dereferencing fabricated `struct page` pointers via `kmap_local_page()` and memcpy'ing from unmapped addresses reliably oopses or panics the kernel — the crashes the fix commit reports — and the `bytes` underflow can wedge the transmit loop; the attacker can repeat this at will." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_tx.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "a19a58ab12695abb91a4e8ecf62cc0bc5badefbe", "lessThan": "b47c4b7cb78b6382c6d1af0bfc0d8218e4f445cc", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2ff29e99a764769eb2ce3a1a5585013633ee9a6", "lessThan": "5661fdd218c2799001b88c17acd19f4395e4488e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2ff29e99a764769eb2ce3a1a5585013633ee9a6", "lessThan": "673cf582fd788af12cdacfb62a6a593083542481", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2ff29e99a764769eb2ce3a1a5585013633ee9a6", "lessThan": "42ebc16d9d2563f1a1ce0f05b643ee68d54fabf8", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2ff29e99a764769eb2ce3a1a5585013633ee9a6", "lessThan": "edf82bc8150570167a33a7d54627d66614cbf841", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c2ff29e99a764769eb2ce3a1a5585013633ee9a6", "lessThan": "c18646248fed07683d4cee8a8af933fc4fe83c0d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_tx.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.5", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.103", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.43", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.15.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.16.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.16.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.17", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.103" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.43" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.16.2" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.17" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b47c4b7cb78b6382c6d1af0bfc0d8218e4f445cc" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5661fdd218c2799001b88c17acd19f4395e4488e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/673cf582fd788af12cdacfb62a6a593083542481" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/42ebc16d9d2563f1a1ce0f05b643ee68d54fabf8" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/edf82bc8150570167a33a7d54627d66614cbf841" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c18646248fed07683d4cee8a8af933fc4fe83c0d" } ], "title": "RDMA/siw: Fix the sendmsg byte count in siw_tcp_sendpages", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
