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-2026-72466 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. 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-2026-72466/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72466/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-72466","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-72466/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-72466","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-72466","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-72466","GHSA-7c5h-c675-2hvr","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-72466"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A flaw in the Linux kernel's xprtrdma module allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by draining the Receive queue through malformed replies.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxprtrdma: Fix bcall rep leak and unbounded peek\n\nrpcrdma_is_bcall() decodes a reply's first words to decide whether\nthe frame is a backchannel call. Two issues in that decode path\nlet a short or malformed reply leak the receive buffer and drain\nthe Receive queue.\n\nFirst, the speculative peek\n\n    p = xdr_inline_decode(xdr, 0);\n    /* five p++ reads follow */\n\nasks xdr_inline_decode() for zero bytes, which returns xdr-\u003ep\nwithout consulting xdr-\u003eend. The five subsequent __be32 reads can\nthen walk up to 20 bytes past the wire payload into stale regbuf\ncontents and misclassify the reply as a backchannel call.\n\nSecond, after the post-peek\n\n    p = xdr_inline_decode(xdr, 3 * sizeof(*p));\n    if (unlikely(!p))\n            return true;\n\nthe short-header arm returns true without calling\nrpcrdma_bc_receive_call().

The rep, with its persistently\nDMA-mapped receive buffer, is orphaned on rb_all_reps and freed\nonly at transport teardown. This completion reposts nothing, so\nits slot is reclaimed only when a later forward-channel reply\nreaches out_post and rpcrdma_post_recvs() allocates a fresh rep to\nbackfill; absent that traffic the Receive queue drains and the\npeer's Sends draw RNR NAKs.\n\nFix by consulting xdr-\u003eend after the zero-length peek so the five\n__be32 reads cannot run unless 20 bytes of wire payload remain. A\nbyte-precise comparison against xdr-\u003eend is required because a\nnon-4-aligned receive rounds the stream's word count up past the\ntrue payload.
