CVE-2026-64232

Technical Description

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

block: recompute nr_integrity_segments in blk_insert_cloned_request

blk_insert_cloned_request() already recomputes nr_phys_segments

against the bottom queue, because "the queue settings related to

segment counting may differ from the original queue." The exact same

reasoning applies to integrity segments: a stacked driver's underlying

queue can have tighter virt_boundary_mask, seg_boundary_mask, or

max_segment_size than the top queue, in which case

blk_rq_count_integrity_sg() against the bottom queue produces a

different count than the cached rq->nr_integrity_segments inherited

from the source request by blk_rq_prep_clone().

When the cached count is lower than the bottom queue's actual count,

blk_rq_map_integrity_sg() trips

BUG_ON(segments > rq->nr_integrity_segments);

on dispatch. The same families of stacked setups that motivated the

existing nr_phys_segments recompute -- dm-multipath fanning out to

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
