CVE-2024-53151 — Linux Linux Kernel security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: svcrdma: Address an integer overflow Dan Carpenter reports: > Commit 78147ca8b4a9 ("svcrdma: Add a "parsed chunk list" data > structure") from Jun 22, 2020 (linux-next), leads to the following > Smatch static checker warning: > > net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_recvfrom.c:498 xdr_check_write_chunk() > warn: potential user controlled sizeof overflow 'segcount * 4 * 4' > > net/sunrpc/xprtrdma/svc_rdma_recvfrom.c > 488 static bool xdr_check_write_chunk(struct svc_rdma_recv_ctxt *rctxt) > 489 { > 490 u32 segcount; > 491 __be32 *p; > 492 > 493 if (xdr_stream_decode_u32(&rctxt->rc_stream, &segcount)) > ^^^^^^^^ > > 494 return false; > 495 > 496 /* A bogus segcount causes this buffer overflow check to fail. */ > 497 p = xdr_inline_decode(&rctxt->rc_stream, > --> 498 segcount * rpcrdma_segment_maxsz * sizeof(*p)); > > > segcount is an untrusted u32.

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
