When such a reply needs more scatter/gather entries than the\ndevice's Send Queue supports, svc_rdma_pull_up_needed() selects\npull-up and svc_rdma_pull_up_reply_msg() linearizes the whole\nreply into sctxt->sc_xprt_buf. That buffer is only sc_max_req_size\nbytes, while the reply on this path is bounded only by the client's\nrequest, so svc_rdma_xb_linearize() copies past the end of the\nbuffer and corrupts adjacent slab memory. The oversized length is\nthen stored in sc_sges[0].length and posted, so the device also\nreads beyond the mapped region.\n\nThe SGE-exhaustion branch is the only pull-up path that can exceed\nthe buffer: the threshold branch pulls up only replies smaller\nthan RPCRDMA_PULLUP_THRESH, and replies that fit the device's SGE\nbudget are sent directly without linearization. Make\nsvc_rdma_pull_up_needed() report -E2BIG when the reply it would\npull up cannot fit sc_max_req_size, and fail the request with\nERR_CHUNK as RFC 8166 Section 4.5.3 directs rather than dropping\nthe connection.\n\nThe helper no longer answers a simple yes/no question: it now\nreports pull-up, no pull-up, or -E2BIG for a reply too large to\nlinearize. Rename svc_rdma_pull_up_needed() to\nsvc_rdma_check_pull_up() so its name no longer implies a boolean\npredicate." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 9.8, "baseSeverity": "CRITICAL" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:N - svcrdma is nfsd's RPC-over-RDMA server transport; a remote NFS/RDMA client reaches svc_rdma_sendto over InfiniBand, RoCE, or iWARP, including IP-routable RoCEv2/iWARP and Soft-RoCE, so this is a network attack.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls omitting the Write list and Reply chunk and the NFS READ size; with the default 4096-byte pull-up buffer and ~5 Send SGEs, a multi-page inline READ deterministically takes the SGE-exhaustion pull-up path and overflows, with no race or uncontrollable layout.\nPR:N - RDMA-CM accept has no credential check, and AUTH_NULL/AUTH_UNIX need no real account; default NFS exports accept those flavors, so a fabric peer can drive a large READ reply without local or init-namespace privileges.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only attacker-sent RPC-over-RDMA Calls that elicit a large inline reply; no victim mount, click, or other user action is needed beyond nfsd already listening on RDMA.\nS:U - The kmalloc overflow and oversized RDMA Send stay inside the host kernel's security authority; this is not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox escape.\nC:H - svc_rdma_xb_linearize() copies past kmalloc sc_xprt_buf, then the inflated sc_sges[0].length is posted with the PD local DMA lkey, so the device reads adjacent kernel memory onto the wire; the heap smash is also leveragable for disclosure.\nI:H - The unbounded memcpy is a heap out-of-bounds write of attacker-influenced NFS READ payload into adjacent slab objects, enabling corruption of neighboring kernel state and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Overflowing a 4KB send buffer by up to the NFS/RDMA max payload smashes adjacent slab and can oops or panic, and posting an SGE longer than the DMA mapping can also fault the device or kernel." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_sendto.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e248aa7be86e8179f20ac0931774ecd746f3f5bf", "lessThan": "8068358f445a11296328ffa7c524701596814a17", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e248aa7be86e8179f20ac0931774ecd746f3f5bf", "lessThan": "fcd91b9957462d398792201c239dffaeff1cc8b2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e248aa7be86e8179f20ac0931774ecd746f3f5bf", "lessThan": "1949dd1576f7a8aa161b1330c6125df9d53046d5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e248aa7be86e8179f20ac0931774ecd746f3f5bf", "lessThan": "8ec60eb51fae37cd3d334ff26e4a7d6fb21ff7cf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e248aa7be86e8179f20ac0931774ecd746f3f5bf", "lessThan": "0fbe20dfe74b783d255bf389a6ea77aa25dc7860", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "9b65b18f817d9ada2bf67351f24bdcce6789a0bb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "d564356e1919d1178568c19af410cfc1a9076663", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "4.19.22", "lessThan": "4.20", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "4.20.9", "lessThan": "4.21", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_sendto.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.0", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.0", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.109", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.109" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.0", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.19.22" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.20.9" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8068358f445a11296328ffa7c524701596814a17" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fcd91b9957462d398792201c239dffaeff1cc8b2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1949dd1576f7a8aa161b1330c6125df9d53046d5" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8ec60eb51fae37cd3d334ff26e4a7d6fb21ff7cf" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0fbe20dfe74b783d255bf389a6ea77aa25dc7860" } ], "title": "svcrdma: Reject inline replies that overflow the pull-up buffer", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-89530", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "yes" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T19:23:07.762867Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T19:26:41.231Z" } } ] } }
