CVE-2026-31464CVE-2026-31464
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ibmvfc: Fix OOB access in ibmvfc_discover_targets_done()
A malicious or compromised VIO server can return a num_written value in the
discover targets MAD response that exceeds max_targets. This value is
stored directly in vhost->num_targets without validation, and is then used
as the loop bound in ibmvfc_alloc_targets() to index into disc_buf[], which
is only allocated for max_targets entries. Indices at or beyond max_targets
access kernel memory outside the DMA-coherent allocation. The
out-of-bounds data is subsequently embedded in Implicit Logout and PLOGI
MADs that are sent back to the VIO server, leaking kernel memory.
Fix by clamping num_written to max_targets before storing it.
