{"cve":"CVE-2026-46114","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-28T10:16:26.870","modified":"2026-10-19T20:18:31.490","status":"Undergoing Analysis","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nRDMA/rxe: Reject non-8-byte ATOMIC_WRITE payloads\n\natomic_write_reply() at drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_resp.c\nunconditionally dereferences 8 bytes at payload_addr(pkt):\n\n    value = *(u64 *)payload_addr(pkt);\n\ncheck_rkey() previously accepted an ATOMIC_WRITE request with pktlen ==\nresid == 0 because the length validation only compared pktlen against\nresid. A remote initiator that sets the RETH length to 0 therefore reaches\natomic_write_reply() with a zero-byte logical payload, and the responder\nreads sizeof(u64) bytes from past the logical end of the packet into\nskb->head tailroom, then writes those 8 bytes into the attacker's MR via\nrxe_mr_do_atomic_write(). That is a remote disclosure of 4 bytes of kernel\ntailroom per probe (the other 4 bytes are the packet's own trailing ICRC).\n\nIBA oA19-28 defines ATOMIC_WRITE as exactly 8 bytes. Anything else is\nprotocol-invalid. Hoist a strict length check into check_rkey() so the\nresponder never reaches the unchecked dereference, and keep the existing\nWRITE-family length logic for the normal RDMA WRITE path.\n\nReproduced on mainline with an unmodified rxe driver: a sustained\nzero-length ATOMIC_WRITE probe repeatedly leaks adjacent skb head-buffer\nbytes into the attacker's MR, including recognisable kernel strings and\npartial kernel-direct-map pointer words.  With this patch applied the\nresponder rejects the PDU and the MR stays all-zero.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-476","CWE-125"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/105bf79a23b85cf3a761d18a4f3e10ce88526bc1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1114c87aa6f195cf07da55a27b2122ae26557b26","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/539cabb7b2d8ba70f55bba91db55faef11c2a6d7","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ec1ed4747f5f99f8b797bb438c5efd36079fad5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d415fce3fcde6d7aeea6c25362a395b905811452"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46114","score":0.00467,"percentile":0.40162,"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).
