Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74390)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in irdma_copy_user_pgaddrs when processing user-supplied RDMA memory registration data with lvl set to 0. A local user can provide a umem with more DMA blocks than the supplied page count to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
The issue affects the lvl==0 case that uses the fixed-size iwmr->pgaddrmem array for QP, CQ, and SRQ rings.
