Service crash via block-status length overflow
Published Jun 9, 2025 · Updated Jun 30, 2026
Integer overflow in the blocksize filter in Red Hat nbdkit allows remote authenticated users to crash the server through an NBD request. The filter rounds an unaligned block-status length near 4 GiB upward in a 32-bit variable, which wraps to zero and trips an assertion. Exploitation requires access to an export using the blocksize filter and causes only a temporary service interruption, without reported data disclosure or modification.
