Received Received - Intake
RDMA/mana Memory Corruption via rx_hash_key_len Validation Bypass

Publication date: 2026-05-28

Last updated on: 2026-05-28

Assigner: kernel.org

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/mana: Validate rx_hash_key_len Sashiko points out that rx_hash_key_len comes from a uAPI structure and is blindly passed to memcpy, allowing the userspace to trash kernel memory. Bounds check it so the memcpy cannot overflow.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel within the RDMA/mana component. It involves the rx_hash_key_len value, which is taken from a user API structure and used without proper validation in a memcpy operation. Because rx_hash_key_len is not checked for bounds, a malicious user can cause the memcpy to overflow, potentially overwriting kernel memory.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability allows userspace to overwrite kernel memory by exploiting the unchecked length parameter in memcpy. This can lead to memory corruption, which may cause system instability, crashes, or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
