AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Local devmem configuration needs low privilege (AV:L/PR:L); primary impact is a kernel memory leak (C:H) with limited integrity/availability from niov desync (I:L/A:L), staying within kernel scope (S:U).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: devmem: reject dma-buf bind with non-page-aligned size or SG length
net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() trusts dmabuf->size and sg_dma_len() to be PAGE_SIZE multiples without checking:
- tx_vec is sized dmabuf->size / PAGE_SIZE, and
net_devmem_get_niov_at() only bounds-checks virt_addr < dmabuf->size before indexing tx_vec[virt_addr / PAGE_SIZE]. With size = N*PAGE_SIZE + r (1 <= r < PAGE_SIZE), sendmsg() at iov_base = N*PAGE_SIZE passes the bound check and reads tx_vec[N] -- one past.
- owner->area.num_niovs = len / PAGE_SIZE while gen_pool_add_owner()
covers the full byte len, so a non-page-multiple non-final sg desyncs num_niovs from the gen_pool region for every later sg, on both RX and TX.
dma-buf does not require page-aligned sizes, so the bind path has to enforce what its own indexing assumes. Reject both with -EINVAL.
The size check is TX-only (only tx_vec is sized off dmabuf->size); the SG-length check covers both directions.
AnalysisAI
Out-of-bounds kernel memory access in the Linux kernel's devmem TCP subsystem (net/devmem) allows a local, low-privileged user who can bind a dma-buf to a socket to read one slot past the tx_vec array and to desynchronize net_iov accounting from the underlying gen_pool region. The root cause is that net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() trusts dmabuf->size and sg_dma_len() to be PAGE_SIZE multiples without validating them, so a dma-buf sized N*PAGE_SIZE+r lets a sendmsg() at offset N*PAGE_SIZE pass the bounds check yet index tx_vec[N]. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and the EPSS score is very low (0.17%, 6th percentile); the fix (reject non-page-aligned size or SG length with -EINVAL) is shipped in vendor-released patches.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is Linux 'devmem TCP', a zero-copy networking feature that maps GPU/NIC device memory into the network stack via dma-buf. When a dma-buf is bound, net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() builds a tx_vec array whose length is dmabuf->size / PAGE_SIZE and populates a gen_pool-backed region of net_iov (niov) descriptors, one per page. Two implicit assumptions are violated: (1) net_devmem_get_niov_at() only checks virt_addr < dmabuf->size before computing tx_vec[virt_addr / PAGE_SIZE], so a non-page-multiple size leaves a reachable offset that indexes one element past the array; and (2) owner->area.num_niovs is set to len / PAGE_SIZE while gen_pool_add_owner() covers the full byte length, so any non-final scatter-gather entry whose length is not a page multiple desyncs the niov count from the pool for every subsequent SG on both RX and TX paths. The dma-buf framework explicitly does not guarantee page-aligned sizes, so the bind path must enforce the alignment its own indexing assumes. No CWE was assigned (N/A), but the behavior maps to CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read) combined with CWE-129 (improper validation of array index) and CWE-20 (missing input validation).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Linux 6.18.35, 7.0.11, or 7.1 (or a distribution kernel that incorporates fix commits 134c517dfa63203287b2aad6558017f42435a02e, d5008e4e4ee6b739256b796702a7d1aae1b5c3b4, or 4eb82ba543421e9e38cc14e4e82058b78850df50 from git.kernel.org/stable). The fix makes net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() reject any dma-buf whose total size is not a PAGE_SIZE multiple (TX) or whose scatter-gather entry lengths are not PAGE_SIZE multiples (RX and TX) with -EINVAL. Where immediate patching is not possible, the primary compensating control is to not enable or expose devmem TCP: avoid loading/configuring drivers and sockets that use SO_DEVMEM/dma-buf binding, and restrict the CAP_NET_ADMIN-level privileges and local accounts able to configure devmem queues and bind dma-bufs, since exploitation depends on that capability. Trade-off: disabling devmem TCP removes the zero-copy networking acceleration it provides, so only affects workloads that specifically rely on that feature (typically GPU/NIC high-throughput setups). Consult the NVD/EUVD advisory (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-64124) for tracking.
