{"cve":"CVE-2026-89700","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T20:19:57.187","modified":"2026-10-19T09:18:08.657","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: validate sockaddr length per family in listener_set\n\nnfsd_sock_nl_policy declares NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR as a bare NLA_BINARY\nattribute with no minimum length. A CAP_NET_ADMIN caller can send a\n16-byte NFSD_A_SOCK_ADDR with sa_family=AF_INET6, causing a 12-byte\nOOB read across three consumers (rpc_cmp_addr_port, svc_find_listener,\nkernel_bind).\n\nnfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() also parsed and validated each listener\nentry inline in two separate loops, interleaved with mutating the\nrunning listener configuration. The validation was duplicated, used an\nopen-coded \"nla_len < sizeof(struct sockaddr)\" check that was too short\nfor AF_INET6, and handled a malformed entry inconsistently depending on\nwhich loop noticed it.\n\nAdd an nfsd_nl_validate_listeners() helper that walks the entire list\nonce and confirms each entry parses, carries both an address and a\ntransport name, and is long enough for its address family\n(sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) for AF_INET, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6)\nfor AF_INET6, -EAFNOSUPPORT otherwise). Call it before taking\nnfsd_mutex or creating the serv, so a malformed request fails cleanly\nwith no side effects.\n\nSince every entry is known valid by the time the two existing loops\nrun, drop the redundant presence and per-family length checks from\nboth, leaving only the nla_parse_nested() call needed to extract the\ndata.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/22d0e4752ca88fd84196d22ebeedc905e6540440","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2aca70c18c5f5d06004122861fb151d5fcc57faf","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bdcc85c2b05a9378d8bd2d65f9fc41440a3cf464","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bf85a0f1e45258f90ceeec14772b5769697dfd75"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89700","score":0.00168,"percentile":0.06057,"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).
