CVE Details
| Release Date: | 2026-10-06 | |
| Impact: | Moderate | What is this? |
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/iser: reject a remote invalidation of an unregistered direction
A write command whose data is sent entirely as immediate data is not
registered. iser_reg_mem_fastreg() takes the DMA key path and leaves
rdma_reg[ISER_DIR_OUT].desc at NULL, while iser_dma_map_task_data() has
already set dir[ISER_DIR_OUT].
iser_check_remote_inv() looks at dir[] alone and hands the descriptor to
iser_inv_desc(), which reads desc->sig_protected. A target that answers
such a command with IB_WR_SEND_WITH_INV faults the initiator.
Leaving those commands unregistered is deliberate.
The same function already terminates the connection when a target sends
a remote invalidation the initiator did not ask for. A target that
invalidates a direction that was never registered is in the same class,
so give it the same answer.
