CVE-2026-46124 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: isofs: validate block number from NFS file handle in isofs_export_iget isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent() pass an attacker- controlled block number (ifid->block or ifid->parent_block) from the NFS file handle to isofs_export_iget(), which only rejects block == 0 before calling isofs_iget() and ultimately sb_bread(). A crafted file handle with fh_len sufficient to pass the check added by commit 0405d4b63d08 ("isofs: Prevent the use of too small fid") can still drive the server to read any in-range block on the backing device as if it were an iso_directory_record. That earlier fix was assigned CVE-2025-37780. sb_bread() on an out-of-range block returns NULL cleanly via the EIO path, so there is no memory-safety violation. For in-range reads of adjacent-partition data on the same block device, the unrelated bytes end up in iso_inode_info fields that reach the NFS client as dentry metadata. The deployment surface (isofs exported over NFS from loop-mounted images) is narrow and requires an authenticated NFS peer, but the malformed-file-handle class is reportable as hardening next to the existing CVE-2025-37780 fix. Reject block >= ISOFS_SB(sb)->s_nzones in isofs_export_iget() so the check covers both isofs_fh_to_dentry() and isofs_fh_to_parent() call sites with a single line.
A vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's ISO 9660 file system implementation, specifically in how it handles block numbers from NFS file handles. The issue arises in the 'isofs_export_iget' function, where an attacker can manipulate the block number passed from the NFS file handle. While the function only rejects block number zero, it fails to validate other values before reading data from the backing device. This oversight can lead to unauthorized access to adjacent partition data, which is then sent to the NFS client as metadata. The vulnerability requires an authenticated NFS peer and affects isofs files exported over NFS from loop-mounted images.
The vulnerability has been addressed by adding a validation check in the 'isofs_export_iget' function to reject block numbers that are zero or greater than or equal to the total number of zones in the file system. Users should apply the latest patches available in the Linux kernel stable tree to mitigate this issue.
