CVE-2026-98365

9.8 CRITICAL

Published 2026-10-06 · Updated 2026-10-07

AI risk analysis

Summary
The flaw is an integer overflow in the mr_check_range() function, allowing a remote peer to perform out-of-bounds access, leading to potential kernel crashes and data corruption.
Exploitability
Exploitation is relatively easy given the preconditions of a crafted RDMA-Write/Read RETH packet from a remote peer.
Blast radius
If exploited, this vulnerability could lead to a complete system compromise, as an unauthenticated remote peer can trigger a kernel oops and potentially execute arbitrary code.
Detection
No reliable host or network indicator is derivable from the published description.
Prioritized remediation
Upgrade to the Linux kernel version 6.2.10 or later.

NVD description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rxe: Fix integer overflow in mr_check_range() leading to OOB access mr_check_range() validates that [iova, iova+length) falls within the registered MR range using wraparound-prone arithmetic: if (iova < mr->ibmr.iova || iova + length > mr->ibmr.iova + mr->ibmr.length) A remote peer can craft an RDMA-Write/Read RETH so that iova + length wraps to 0 (e.g. iova=0xfffffffffffffff8, length=8), bypassing the check. rxe_mr_iova_to_index() then computes a huge index (int idx, only guarded by WARN_ON) and rxe_mr_copy_xarray() dereferences mr->page_info[huge], causing an out-of-bounds read/write and a kernel oops that is triggerable by an unauthenticated remote peer. Rewrite the check in overflow-safe form; the first two clauses guarantee that the subsequent subtractions do not underflow: if (iova < mr->ibmr.iova || length > mr->ibmr.length || iova - mr->ibmr.iova > mr->ibmr.length - length) With the fix, mr_check_range() returns -EINVAL for the crafted iova and the responder reports REMOTE_ACCESS_ERROR instead of triggering the OOB.
