CVE-2026-63860

Estado: Pendiente de análisisAlta (8.4)—

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/core: Prefer NLA_NUL_STRING

These attributes are evaluated as c-string (passed to strcmp), but NLA_STRING doesn't check for the presence of a \0 terminator.

Either this needs to switch to nla_strcmp() and needs to adjust printf fmt specifier to not use plain %s, or this needs to use NLA_NUL_STRING.

As the code has been this way for long time, it seems to me that userspace does include the terminating nul, even tough its not enforced so far, and thus NLA_NUL_STRING use is the simpler solution.
