Local memory corruption via oversized sense copy
Published Sep 16, 2026 · Updated Sep 16, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in the SCSI bsg io_uring path in Linux 7.1 allows local users to overwrite a too-small response buffer. Completion copies scmd->sense_len bytes into the user response without capping the copy at max_response_len. Exploitation requires local access to a bsg device and valid SCSI sense data longer than that limit; published material establishes the overrun but no further consequence.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
