Therefore, using `<=`\naccesses one element past the end.\n\nFix the issues by using `<` instead of `<=`, ensuring we do not exceed\nthe bounds.\n\n[1] KASAN splat about rss_key_size off-by-one\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in iavf_config_rss+0x619/0x800\n  Read of size 4 at addr ffff888102c50134 by task kworker/u8:6/63\n\n  CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 63 Comm: kworker/u8:6 Not tainted 6.18.0-rc2-enjuk-tnguy-00378-g3005f5b77652-dirty #156 PREEMPT(voluntary)\n  Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014\n  Workqueue: iavf iavf_watchdog_task\n  Call Trace:\n   <TASK>\n   dump_stack_lvl+0x6f/0xb0\n   print_report+0x170/0x4f3\n   kasan_report+0xe1/0x1a0\n   iavf_config_rss+0x619/0x800\n   iavf_watchdog_task+0x2be7/0x3230\n   process_one_work+0x7fd/0x1420\n   worker_thread+0x4d1/0xd40\n   kthread+0x344/0x660\n   ret_from_fork+0x249/0x320\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n   </TASK>\n\n  Allocated by task 63:\n   kasan_save_stack+0x30/0x50\n   kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n   __kasan_kmalloc+0x7f/0x90\n   __kmalloc_noprof+0x246/0x6f0\n   iavf_watchdog_task+0x28fc/0x3230\n   process_one_work+0x7fd/0x1420\n   worker_thread+0x4d1/0xd40\n   kthread+0x344/0x660\n   ret_from_fork+0x249/0x320\n   ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30\n\n  The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888102c50100\n   which belongs to the cache kmalloc-64 of size 64\n  The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of\n   allocated 52-byte region [ffff888102c50100, ffff888102c50134)\n\n  The buggy address belongs to the physical page:\n  page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x102c50\n  flags: 0x200000000000000(node=0|zone=2)\n  page_type: f5(slab)\n  raw: 0200000000000000 ffff8881000418c0 dead000000000122 0000000000000000\n  raw: 0000000000000000 0000000080200020 00000000f5000000 0000000000000000\n  page dumped because: kasan: bad access detected\n\n  Memory state around the buggy address:\n   ffff888102c50000: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n   ffff888102c50080: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n  >ffff888102c50100: 00 00 00 00 00 00 04 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n                                       ^\n   ffff888102c50180: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc\n   ffff888102c50200: fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc fc","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-193","CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18de0e41d69d97fab10b91fecf10ae78a5e43232","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3095228e1320371e143835d0cebeef1a8a754c66","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5bb18bfd505ca1affbca921462c350095a6c798c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6daa2893f323981c7894c68440823326e93a7d61","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ceb8459df28d22c225a82d74c0f725f2a935d194"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-71087","score":0.00137,"percentile":0.0308,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
