Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90411)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90411). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: unmap cmd_iu DMA on rsp_iu mapping failure in init_request
__nvme_fc_init_request() maps cmd_iu and then rsp_iu for DMA. If the
rsp_iu mapping fails, the original code only recorded the error and fell
through: it left the already-mapped cmd_iu unmapped and still marked the
op as FCPOP_STATE_IDLE before returning. Since blk-mq does not call
.exit_request() when .init_request() fails, the cmd_iu mapping is leaked
for every op whose rsp_iu mapping fails.
Jump to an error path on rsp_iu mapping failure that unmaps cmd_iu and
returns the error without marking the op idle, so it stays in the
FCPOP_STATE_UNINIT state set by the initial memset().
