Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-46325)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-46325). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix iova-to-va conversion for MR page sizes != PAGE_SIZE
The current implementation incorrectly handles memory regions (MRs) with
page sizes different from the system PAGE_SIZE. The core issue is that
rxe_set_page() is called with mr->page_size step increments, but the
page_list stores individual struct page pointers, each representing
PAGE_SIZE of memory.
ib_sg_to_page() has ensured that when i>=1 either
a) SG[i-1].dma_end and SG[i].dma_addr are contiguous
or
b) SG[i-1].dma_end and SG[i].dma_addr are mr->page_size aligned.
This leads to incorrect iova-to-va conversion in scenarios:
-
page_size < PAGE_SIZE (e.g., MR: 4K, system: 64K):
ibmr->iova = 0x181800
sg[0]: dma_addr=0x181800, len=0x800
sg[1]: dma_addr=0x173000, len=0x1000Access iova = 0x181800 + 0x810 = 0x182010
Expected VA: 0x173010 (second SG, offset 0x10)
Before fix:- index = (0x182010 >> 12) - (0x181800 >> 12) = 1
- page_offset = 0x182010 & 0xFFF = 0x10
- xarray[1] stores system page base 0x170000
- Resulting VA: 0x170000 + 0x10 = 0x170010 (wrong)
-
page_size > PAGE_SIZE (e.g., MR: 64K, system: 4K):
ibmr->iova = 0x18f800
sg[0]: dma_addr=0x18f800, len=0x800
sg[1]: dma_addr=0x170000, len=0x1000Access iova = 0x18f800 + 0x810 = 0x190010
Expected VA: 0x170010 (second SG, offset 0x10)
Before fix:- index = (0x190010 >> 16) - (0x18f800 >> 16) = 1
- page_offset = 0x1900…
