CVE-2026-74470

Technical Description

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

scsi: scsi_debug: Fix REPORT ZONES alloc_len underflow OOB write

resp_report_zones() sizes the reply buffer from the CDB allocation

length. The v3 fix rounds alloc_len up with ALIGN() before deriving the

descriptor count:

rep_max_zones = (ALIGN((u64)alloc_len, RZONES_DESC_HD) -

RZONES_DESC_HD) >> ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);

arr_len = (u64)RZONES_DESC_HD * (rep_max_zones + 1);

For alloc_len in 0xFFFFFFC1..0xFFFFFFFF, ALIGN() rounds up to

0x100000000, so arr_len is 4 GB. On 32-bit, kzalloc()'s size_t is 32-bit

and truncates 0x100000000 to 0; kzalloc(0) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which

passes the !arr check, and desc = arr + 64 is then dereferenced in the

loop -> out-of-bounds write / panic.

Clamp rep_max_zones to devip->nr_zones. The loop already stops at

sdebug_capacity (after nr_zones zones), so a report can never hold more

than nr_zones descriptors; the clamp does not change the report, it only

bounds arr_len to (nr

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
