The\ncopy into the 8192-byte login->req_buf runs far out of bounds and\nfaults, crashing the target node. The login phase precedes iSCSI\nauthentication, so no credentials are required to reach this path.\n\nReject any login PDU shorter than ISER_HEADERS_LEN before the\nsubtraction, mirroring the existing early return on a failed work\ncompletion, so login_req_len can never go negative. The upper bound was\nalready safe: a posted login buffer cannot deliver more than\nISER_RX_PAYLOAD_SIZE, so the difference stays at or below\nMAX_KEY_VALUE_PAIRS and the existing min() clamps it; only the missing\nlower bound needs to be added.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-06-25T08:38:52.693+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-19T19:57:26.13+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
