Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-15 06:22 - Updated: 2026-08-17 06:19
Severity
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: Sanitize the reply credit grant after parsing
The out_norqst exit in rpcrdma_reply_handler() branches away before
the credit clamp, so a reply that matches no pending request reaches
out_post carrying the raw credit value parsed from the wire.
rpcrdma_post_recvs() does not bound its @needed argument: the refill
loop allocates and chains Receive WRs until the count is satisfied or
allocation fails. A peer that sends a well-formed reply carrying an
unknown XID and an inflated credit grant therefore drives rep
allocation and Receive posting past re_max_requests on every such
reply.
Move the clamp to immediately after the credit field is parsed,
ahead of the first branch that can reach out_post, so every later
consumer sees a sanitized value. The cwnd update stays on the
matched-request path.
