Authenticated server crash via oversized block-status extent
Published Jun 9, 2025 · Updated Jun 30, 2026
Off-by-one error in nbdkit allows remote authenticated users to crash the server via a maximum-length block-status request. The extents_to_block_descriptors loop fails to stop when a plugin extent fills or exceeds the 32-bit request length, then reaches an assertion while processing the remainder. Exploitation requires valid access to an NBD export and interrupts the server for other clients without reported data disclosure or modification.
