Kernel memory corruption via oversized inline reply
Published Sep 11, 2026 · Updated Sep 11, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in svcrdma in affected Linux kernel revisions allows remote attackers to corrupt kernel memory via crafted NFS READ requests. The SGE-exhaustion path linearizes an unchecked inline RPC-over-RDMA reply into the smaller sc_xprt_buf, copying beyond its end and posting an oversized mapped length. Reachability requires an RPC-over-RDMA server reply with no Write list or Reply chunk that exceeds the device's scatter/gather-entry budget.
