CVE-2026-46105
Published: May 28, 2026· Updated: May 30, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Limit NVMe request size to 2 MiB
The HBA firmware reports NVMe MDTS values based on the underlying drive
capability. However, because the driver allocates a fixed 4K buffer for
the PRP list, accommodating at most 512 entries, the driver supports a
maximum I/O transfer size of 2 MiB.
Limit max_hw_sectors to the smaller of the reported MDTS and the 2 MiB
driver limit to prevent issuing oversized I/O that may lead to a kernel
oops.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46105 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
