CVE-2026-43125

dlm: validate length in dlm_search_rsb_tree

Published May 6, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 9.8 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dlm: validate length in dlm_search_rsb_tree

The len parameter in dlm_dump_rsb_name() is not validated and comes
from network messages. When it exceeds DLM_RESNAME_MAXLEN, it can
cause out-of-bounds write in dlm_search_rsb_tree().

Add length validation to prevent potential buffer overflow.
