CVE-2026-53186
9.1 · CRITICALOverview
CVE-2026-53186 is a critical-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on June 25, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 (CRITICAL).
This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srp: bound SRP_RSP sense copy by the received length
srp_process_rsp() copies sense data from rsp->data + resp_data_len,
where resp_data_len is the full 32-bit value supplied by the SRP target
and is never checked against the number of bytes actually received
(wc->byte_len). The copy length is bounded to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, so
at most 96 bytes are copied, but the source offset is not bounded.
A malicious or compromised SRP target on the InfiniBand/RoCE fabric that
the initiator has logged into can return an SRP_RSP with
SRP_RSP_FLAG_SNSVALID set and a large resp_data_len. The receive buffer
is allocated at the target-chosen max_ti_iu_len, so the source of the
sense copy lands past the bytes actually received; with resp_data_len
near 0xFFFFFFFF it is gigabytes past the buffer and the read faults.
Copy the sense data only if it has not been truncated, that is, only if
the response header, the response data, a
Remediation
Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
