CVE-2026-89551

Estado: RecibidaCrítica (9.8)—

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

SUNRPC: xdr_buf_trim: clamp buf->len to avoid underflow

xdr_buf_trim() trims `len` bytes from the tail of an xdr_buf by walking the tail, pages, and head iovecs. Each per-section step uses min_t() so it never removes more bytes than that section holds, but the final accounting at the fix_len label subtracts the total bytes actually consumed from buf->len without any clamp:

When the caller has set buf->len to a value smaller than the sum of the iov_lens, (len - trim) can exceed buf->len and the unsigned subtraction wraps to near UINT_MAX. gss_krb5_unwrap_v2() reaches xdr_buf_trim() in exactly that state:

Leer descripción completaMostrar menos

buf->len is a small wire-derived value while the iov_lens are at page scale, so the per-section loops legitimately consume far more bytes than buf->len records. The wrapped buf->len then propagates as the authoritative stream bound into every downstream XDR decoder.

Fix by clamping the decrement so buf->len bottoms out at zero:

On the normal path where the iov_lens sum to buf->len, (len - trim) is always <= buf->len and the result is identical to before. No callers change behavior outside the underflow case.

    fix_len:
            buf->len -= (len - trim);

    buf->head[0].iov_len -= GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN + headskip;
    buf->len = len - (GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN + headskip);
    xdr_buf_trim(buf, ec + GSS_KRB5_TOK_HDR_LEN + tailskip);

    buf->len -= min_t(unsigned int, buf->len, len - trim);
