Its length is taken directly from the wire descriptor:\n\n  plist->length = le32_to_cpu(id->rd_msg->desc[0].len);\n\nrd_msg points into the chunk buffer that the remote peer filled via\nRDMA-WRITE-WITH-IMM (rtrs_srv_rdma_done() -> process_io_req() ->\nprocess_read()), so desc[0].len is attacker-controlled and, before this\nchange, was only rejected when zero. The source address is the fixed\nchunk start (dma_addr[msg_id]) and the source lkey is the PD-wide\nlocal_dma_lkey, which is not tied to the chunk's MR mapping, so the verbs\nlayer does not constrain the transfer length to max_chunk_size. msg_id\nand off are bounded against queue_depth and max_chunk_size in\nrtrs_srv_rdma_done(), but desc[0].len is a separate field that was not\nchecked against the chunk size.\n\nA peer that advertises desc[0].len larger than max_chunk_size can make\nthe posted RDMA write read past the chunk's mapped region. The resulting\nbehaviour depends on the IOMMU configuration: with no IOMMU or in\npassthrough mode the read may extend into memory adjacent to the chunk\nand be returned to the peer, which can disclose host memory; with a\ntranslating IOMMU the out-of-range access is expected to fault and abort\nthe connection. In either case the transfer exceeds what the protocol\npermits and is driven by a remote peer.\n\nReject a descriptor length above max_chunk_size, mirroring the existing\noff >= max_chunk_size bound in rtrs_srv_rdma_done(). Legitimate clients\ndo not exceed it: the client sets desc[0].len to its MR length, which is\ncapped at the negotiated max_io_size (max_chunk_size - MAX_HDR_SIZE).","published":"2026-07-25T10:17:07.000Z","lastModified":"2026-08-23T13:16:31.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.1,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00714,"percentile":0.53477,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.71%).
