CVE-2026-43491 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: qrtr: ns: Limit the maximum server registration per node Current code does no bound checking on the number of servers added per node. A malicious client can flood NEW_SERVER messages and exhaust memory. Fix this issue by limiting the maximum number of server registrations to 256 per node. If the NEW_SERVER message is received for an old port, then don't restrict it as it will get replaced. While at it, also rate limit the error messages in the failure path of qrtr_ns_worker(). Note that the limit of 256 is chosen based on the current platform requirements. If requirement changes in the future, this limit can be increased.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's QRTR (Queuing Radio Transmission Protocol) implementation allows for denial of service. The issue arises because the current code does not limit the number of server registrations per node. This lack of bounds checking can be exploited by a malicious client that floods the system with NEW_SERVER messages, leading to memory exhaustion. The vulnerability is present in the Linux kernel stable tree.
The vulnerability has been addressed by limiting the maximum number of server registrations to 256 per node. This change has been implemented in the Linux kernel stable tree.
