This is not a local userspace or IP network\npath; the attacker must be able to inject fabric traffic, for example as\na compromised switch or fabric controller, or as a same-zone N_Port on a\nfabric that permits source spoofing.\n\nThe Link-Integrity and Peer-Congestion FPIN walkers used a u8 loop\ncounter against the 32-bit on-wire pname_count field, and did not bound\npname_count by the descriptor body already validated by the TLV walker.\nA pname_count of 256 therefore wraps the counter and keeps the loop\ncondition true indefinitely.\n\nFactor the shared pname_list[] walk into one helper, widen the counter\nto u32, and clamp pname_count against the entries that fit in the\ndescriptor body before iterating.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-190"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07776b7779c9426982c1ad74aad91bd531593790","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/163bd704d7515c3df6c2e03bcba93d1db79edbff","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/29f126f09e34a425b376b3646c89aa7cc18b142c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35461d23744175a78b6280293892cca357c22793","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a9a39233ec1fc9f97ea1340a4d09bb7ec2be5153"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-63889","score":0.00359,"percentile":0.29416,"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).
