CVE-2026-63889
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_transport_fc: Widen FPIN pname walker counter to u32
An adjacent Fibre Channel fabric actor that can deliver an FPIN ELS frame to an lpfc or qla2xxx Linux initiator can trigger a non-return in the generic FC transport. This is not a local userspace or IP network path; the attacker must be able to inject fabric traffic, for example as a compromised switch or fabric controller, or as a same-zone N_Port on a fabric that permits source spoofing.
The Link-Integrity and Peer-Congestion FPIN walkers used a u8 loop counter against the 32-bit on-wire pname_count field, and did not bound pname_count by the descriptor body already validated by the TLV walker.
Leer descripción completaMostrar menos
A pname_count of 256 therefore wraps the counter and keeps the loop condition true indefinitely.
Factor the shared pname_list[] walk into one helper, widen the counter to u32, and clamp pname_count against the entries that fit in the descriptor body before iterating.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.1

T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation60 %
Vulnerabilidad en kernel Linux explotable por actor adyacente en Fibre Channel (AV:A) sin privilegios ni interacción. Causa DoS por bucle infinito (pname_count=256 desborda contador u8). Potencial escalada si compromete servicios FC.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
