Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.4/7.3-rc1 and classified as very critical. Affected by this issue is an unknown function of the component bsg. The manipulation of the argument sense_len/max_response_len with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: bsg: Cap io_uring sense copy to max_response_len Completion copied scmd->sense_len to the user response buffer without honoring max_response_len. After a valid sense, the midlayer sets sense_len to the real length (up to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE), so a smaller user buffer was overrun.

The advisory is shared for download at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-90010 since 09/11/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. The attack may be launched remotely. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The current price for an exploit might be approx. USD $5k-$25k (estimation calculated on 09/16/2026).

Upgrading to version 7.2.5 or 7.3-rc2 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 5d326efc334ea21afd8161f6ca53e17de71948a9/ece06de726737e887dc0225c8283477624f8ae21 is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
