DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74712
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa/mlx5: Fix buffer length in createdirectkeys() We have seen in our CI the following KASAN message: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in cmdexec+0x550/0xca0 [mlx5core] Read of size 272 at addr 0000000176795020 by task qemu-system-s39/82764 [...] [<000011388ab3a7a0>] cmdexec+0x550/0xca0 [mlx5core] [<000011388ab3b61c>] mlx5cmdexeccb+0x25c/0x4f0 [mlx5core] [<000011388b21e82e>] mlx5vdpaexecasynccmds+0x22e/0x5e0 [mlx5vdpa] [<000011388b21fd44>] createdirectkeys+0x954/0xef0 [mlx5vdpa] [...] The buggy address is located 4128 bytes inside of allocated 4384-byte region [0000000176794000, 0000000176795120) So in essence we read 16 bytes beyond 4384-byte allocation. createdirectkeys calculates the pointer and length for in and out buffers. The size calculation for in includes the entire structure size (out + in + mtt[]) but the pointer passed to cmdexec points only to the 'in' field, skipping the 'out' field. This causes mlx5copytomsg() to read beyond the allocated buffer by sizeof(out) bytes when copying command data. Properly calculate the input size to match the pointer and allocation size.
