System crash via svcrdma segment-count overflow
Published Dec 24, 2024 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Integer overflow in the Linux kernel svcrdma receiver allows attackers to crash 32-bit systems via a crafted RPC-over-RDMA chunk list. The xdr_check_write_chunk function multiplies an untrusted 32-bit segment count by 16 before xdr_inline_decode, allowing the size calculation to wrap and admit a malformed buffer. Exploitation requires the svcrdma receive path on a 32-bit kernel; the published assessment identifies availability loss without data disclosure or modification.
