Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90414)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause an out-of-bounds read and write heap contents beyond the receive descriptor to backing storage.

The vulnerability exists due to missing validation of the declared data segment length in isert_recv_done() when processing iSER/iSCSI PDUs. A remote user can send a PDU that declares a data segment larger than the received data to cause an out-of-bounds read and write heap contents beyond the receive descriptor to backing storage.

Exploitation requires the full feature phase and negotiated parameters that permit unsolicited or immediate data.
