An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53176 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53176/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53176/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53176","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53176/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53176","record":{"aliases":["AZL-90474","BELL-CVE-2026-53176","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53176","GHSA-cm56-mvx6-66qm","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-53176","ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-53176","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2204-CVE-2026-53176","ROOT-OS-UBUNTU-2404-CVE-2026-53176","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-53176"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel iSER","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can crash the Linux kernel iSER target by sending a short login PDU, causing an integer underflow and out-of-bounds memory copy.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-191","name":"Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound)"},{"id":"CWE-839","name":"Numeric Range Comparison Without Minimum Check"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nIB/isert: Reject login PDUs shorter than ISER_HEADERS_LEN\n\nIn drivers/infiniband/ulp/isert/ib_isert.c, isert_login_recv_done()\ncomputes the login request payload length as wc-\u003ebyte_len minus\nISER_HEADERS_LEN with no lower bound, and login_req_len is a signed int.\nA remote iSER initiator can post a login Send work request carrying\nfewer than ISER_HEADERS_LEN (76) bytes, so the subtraction underflows\nand login_req_len becomes negative.\n\nisert_rx_login_req() then reads that negative length back into a signed\nint, takes size = min(rx_buflen, MAX_KEY_VALUE_PAIRS), and because the\nmin() is signed it keeps the negative value; the value is then passed as\nthe memcpy() length and sign-extended to a multi-gigabyte size_t.
