CVE-2026-46043

RDMA/rxe: Validate pad and ICRC before payload_size() in rxe_rcv

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/rxe: Validate pad and ICRC before payloadsize() in rxercv

rxe_rcv() currently checks only that the incoming packet is at least

headersize(pkt) bytes long before payloadsize() is used.

However, payload_size() subtracts both the attacker-controlled BTH pad

field and RXEICRCSIZE from pkt->paylen:

  payloadsize = pkt->paylen - offset[RXEPAYLOAD] - bth_pad(pkt)

          • RXEICRCSIZE

This means a short packet can still make payload_size() underflow even

if it includes enough bytes for the fixed headers. Simply requiring

headersize(pkt) + RXEICRC_SIZE is not sufficient either, because a

packet with a forged non-zero BTH pad can still leave payload_size()

negative and pass an underflowed value to later receive-path users.

Fix this by validating pkt->paylen against the full minimum length

required by payloadsize(): headersize(pkt) + bth_pad(pkt) +

RXEICRCSIZE.
