CVE-2026-89550

Estado: RecibidaCrítica (9.8)—

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

SUNRPC: svcauth_gss: enforce krb5 token minimum length

svcauth_gss_unwrap_priv() validates only an upper bound on the wire-supplied opaque length before handing the buffer to gss_unwrap():

The wire value `len` flows unchanged as the upper bound into the krb5 unwrap path, so a len in [0, 16] passes this check and is handed to gss_unwrap(). For a krb5 v2 context that lands in gss_krb5_unwrap_v2(), which reads the 16-byte RFC 4121 token header fields at ptr+4 and ptr+6 and then calls rotate_left() before any integrity check.

With a sub-header length the header reads run past the token, and _rotate_left()'s `shift %= buf->len` path can divide by zero when buf->len has been driven to zero by the truncated token. A header-only token (len == 16) is equally invalid: with a non-zero RRC field and the opaque blob ending at the XDR buffer boundary, rotate_left() builds a zero-length subbuffer, reaching the same division.

Reject the token at the server entry point before it reaches the krb5 unwrap core. A valid sealed RFC 4121 token must contain the 16-byte header plus at least some encrypted payload.

Fix by adding a minimum-length check immediately after the existing upper-bound check:

    if (len > xdr_stream_remaining(xdr))
            goto unwrap_failed;
    offset = xdr_stream_pos(xdr);
    ...
    maj_stat = gss_unwrap(ctx, offset, offset + len, buf);

    if (len <= GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN)
            goto unwrap_failed;

CVSS

Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK

Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.

Vector AV:N/PR:N/UI:N confirma T1190 (aplicación expuesta en red sin privilegios). La división por cero en rotate_left() causa DoS. La escalada es posible si el kernel crashea permite ejecutar código, pero el texto no lo explicita.

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.
