DescriptionCVE.org

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

rxrpc: Fix error handling in rxgk_extract_token()

Fix a missing bit of error handling in rxgk_extract_token(): in the event that rxgk_decrypt_skb() returns -ENOMEM, it should just return that rather than continuing on (for anything else, it generates an abort).

AnalysisAI

Memory exhaustion handling flaw in the Linux kernel's rxrpc/rxgk subsystem allows network-adjacent attackers to potentially trigger unsafe code paths when rxgk_decrypt_skb() returns -ENOMEM during RxGSS-Kerberos token extraction. Affected kernels include the 6.17 series and specific commits in 6.16.9 onward, fixed in upstream commits and stable backports targeting 6.18.27 and 7.1-rc1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is very low (0.02%) despite the 8.1 CVSS score.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in net/rxrpc, the Linux kernel implementation of the RxRPC transport protocol used primarily by AFS (Andrew File System). Specifically, the rxgk_extract_token() function handles RxGK (RxRPC GSSAPI/Kerberos) authentication tokens and calls rxgk_decrypt_skb() to decrypt incoming socket buffers. The bug is a missing error-handling branch: when the decrypt helper returns -ENOMEM (out-of-memory), the caller should propagate that error immediately instead of treating it like other failures, which would otherwise generate an RxRPC abort message. Without a CWE assigned, the root cause class is best characterized as improper error handling (CWE-755-family) in a network-facing kernel cryptographic path, which can leave subsequent code operating on uninitialized or inconsistent state under memory pressure.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a vendor-released patched kernel: 6.18.27, 7.0.4, or 7.1-rc1 or later, applying the upstream fixes at https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/293095ef618818852bac5488c1bc223935e2ca17, https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3476c8bb960f48e49355d6f93fb7673211e0163f, and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c52803e925604e2a17962ab0c99dce2d3f7238db. For systems that cannot be rebooted immediately, the practical compensating control is to prevent the rxrpc module from being loaded or used: blacklist the rxrpc kernel module via /etc/modprobe.d (which disables AFS client/server functionality - a hard trade-off if AFS is in production), or restrict ingress to UDP/7000-7007 (the conventional AFS/RxRPC port range) at the host or network firewall so untrusted peers cannot deliver RxGK tokens. Avoid running AFS servers exposed to untrusted networks until the kernel is updated.
