CVE-2026-90413CVE-2026-90413
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/isert: reject login PDUs declaring more data than was received
isert_login_recv_done() records how many bytes the HCA actually placed in
the login buffer, but nothing compares that against the length the login
PDU's BHS declares. isert_rx_login_req() copies min(login_req_len,
MAX_KEY_VALUE_PAIRS) bytes into login->req_buf, and the login code then
reads the declared length back out of that buffer - for the first PDU in
iscsi_target_locate_portal(),
payload_length = ntoh24(login_req->dlength);
tmpbuf = kmemdup_nul(login->req_buf, payload_length, GFP_KERNEL);
and for the ones after it in iscsi_decode_text_input(), reached from
iscsi_target_do_login().
login->req_buf is a fixed MAX_KEY_VALUE_PAIRS (8192) byte allocation, so
an initiator that declares more than it sends reads off the end of it,
before authentication and with the length under its control:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_nul+0x43/0x80
