A malicious or compromised remote NFS/RDMA server can influence the receive repost path via reply traffic and credit grants.\nAC:L - The trigger is a deterministic accounting bug on early exits from receive reposting, and a peer can drive reply bursts, high credit grants, and disconnect/reconnect behavior to reach the path. Although memory pressure can help expose one early exit, the rule requires choosing the higher severity option when uncertain.\nPR:N - The remote peer sending RDMA replies does not need privileges on the affected client. The client must already be using an NFS/RDMA transport, but the attacker-side protocol traffic itself is not gated by local kernel privileges.\nUI:N - In a reasonable deployed scenario, the client already has an active NFS/RDMA mount and normal RPC traffic reaches the vulnerable receive path without a further victim action. Exploitation can be driven by the remote peer during ordinary mounted filesystem operation.\nS:U - The effect is confined to the Linux kernel/RPC transport on the same host. It does not cross a separate security authority such as a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:N - The bug is a leaked receive-drain accounting reference, not memory corruption or an information disclosure primitive. The investigated paths indicate a hang in disconnect/drain handling rather than exposure of kernel memory.\nI:N - The issue does not provide data modification, arbitrary write, or control-flow manipulation. It only prevents receive-drain completion after the counter is left elevated.\nA:H - The leaked re_receiving count can make rpcrdma_xprt_drain wait forever, producing stuck xprtiod/autoclose work and hung kernel tasks. This is a kernel-level availability failure for the affected NFS/RDMA transport and can persist until recovery or reboot." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "7ea69259a60a364f56cf4aa9e2eafb588d1c762b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "8cb6b5d8296b1f99a8d36849901ebabfe3f749db", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "74c39a47856bddcde7874f2196a00143b5cd0af9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "49f53ee4e25297d886f14e31f355ad1c2735ddfb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "8127b5fec04757c2a41ed65bca0b3266968efd3b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "dc3ebd7e2d73dbd4d317785735ffa6c4a6384ddf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "15788d1d1077ebe029c48842c738876516d85076", "lessThan": "7b6275c80a0c81c5f8943272292dfe67730ce849", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/verbs.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.13", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.13", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.203", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.167", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.130", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.78", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.19", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.9", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.203" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.167" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.130" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.78" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.19" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.9" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.13", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ea69259a60a364f56cf4aa9e2eafb588d1c762b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8cb6b5d8296b1f99a8d36849901ebabfe3f749db" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/74c39a47856bddcde7874f2196a00143b5cd0af9" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/49f53ee4e25297d886f14e31f355ad1c2735ddfb" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8127b5fec04757c2a41ed65bca0b3266968efd3b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc3ebd7e2d73dbd4d317785735ffa6c4a6384ddf" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b6275c80a0c81c5f8943272292dfe67730ce849" } ], "title": "xprtrdma: Decrement re_receiving on the early exit paths", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-43469", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "yes" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:17:41.397506Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T15:20:42.799Z" } } ] } }
