CVE-2026-64269
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) rtrs-srv module. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted RDMA-Write length during an RTRS READ operation that exceeds the intended buffer size. This out-of-bounds read can lead to information disclosure, allowing the attacker to read sensitive host memory. In some configurations, this could also result in a denial of service.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory
An attacker could get secret values such as cryptographic keys, PII, memory addresses, or other information that could be used in additional attacks.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
Out-of-bounds memory could contain memory addresses or other information that can be used to bypass ASLR and other protection mechanisms in order to improve the reliability of exploiting a separate weakness for code execution.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
An attacker could cause a segmentation fault or crash by causing memory to be read outside of the bounds of the buffer. This is especially likely when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string.
Other
Technical Impact: Varies by Context
The read operation could produce other undefined or unexpected results.
