A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's RPC-over-RDMA server reply path in net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_sendto.c. When a crafted RPC-over-RDMA client sends a large NFS READ request with an empty Write list and no Reply chunk, the server linearizes the entire multi-page reply into a fixed-size 4096-byte heap buffer without bounds checking, resulting in a kernel heap overflow. This can lead to denial of service via kernel crash or potential code execution through corruption of adjacent kernel heap objects.

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

This vulnerability requires the NFS/RDMA server to be running with CONFIG_SUNRPC_XPRT_RDMA enabled, which requires RDMA hardware (InfiniBand or RoCE). Systems that do not have RDMA hardware or do not export NFS over RDMA are not affected. If NFS/RDMA is not required, disabling or not loading the svcrdma kernel module prevents exploitation.
