Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-72129

Vulnerability identifier: #VU143459

CSH Severity: Medium

CVSS v4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72129

CWE-ID: CWE-125

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read in nvmet_rdma_use_inline_sg() and inline scatterlist handling in the NVMe target RDMA component when processing host-controlled inline data with a nonzero offset. A remote user can send crafted inline data offsets and lengths to cause a denial of service.

The issue can be triggered when inline_data_size is configured larger than PAGE_SIZE, and page-spanning in-bounds ranges may also cause the scatterlist to be under-counted.
