CVE-2026-89529: svcrdma: Reject oversized Read segments at decode time

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

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

svcrdma: Reject oversized Read segments at decode time

The RPC/RDMA Read list decoder stores wire-supplied segment
lengths without validation. xdr_count_read_segments() checks
4-byte alignment for non-zero position values but does not
cap the segment length.

An oversized rs_length reaches svc_rdma_build_read_segment(),
which derives nr_bvec from it and can drive a large dynamic
bvec allocation before verifying that enough rq_pages remain.
If the post-allocation page-overrun guard fires, the freshly
acquired rw context is not returned, leaking the resource.

Reject any segment whose length exceeds the receive context's
page budget during Read list decoding, consistent with how
xdr_check_write_chunk() bounds Write segment counts against
rc_maxpages. Also return the rw context on the existing
post-allocation overrun path in svc_rdma_build_read_segment(),
keeping that defensive guard balanced.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89529 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
	https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5120fe54e0e2f5b62797a432115cc61d61117a5b
