CVE-2026-89586

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-scsi: fix DSM TRIM for sector sizes larger than 2048 bytes ata_scsi_write_same_xlat() translates a SCSI WRITE SAME command with the UNMAP bit set into an ATA DATA SET MANAGEMENT TRIM command. The TRIM descriptor is built by ata_format_dsm_trim_descr() into the 2048-byte ata_scsi_rbuf staging buffer, and the number of bytes copied is compared against the logical sector size by the caller: size = ata_format_dsm_trim_descr(scmd, trmax, block, n_block); if (size != len) /* len == sdp->sector_size */ goto invalid_param_len; ata_format_dsm_trim_descr() clamps the copy length to ATA_SCSI_RBUF_SIZE (2048). On a device whose logical sector size exceeds that (e.g. a 4Kn device, where sector_size == 4096) the function can never return more than 2048, while the caller expects it to return sector_size. The comparison therefore always fails, so every TRIM is rejected with "Parameter list length error" and WARN_ON() splats on each attempt. TRIM / discard is thus completely broken on such devices. The descriptor was incorrectly sized from the logical sector size. A DSM TRIM payload is a list of 512-byte pages, each holding up to ATA_MAX_TRIM_RNUM (64) LBA Range Entries, and is independent of the logical sector size. The Block Limits VPD page already advertises a single such page as the maximum WRITE SAME length (65535 * ATA_MAX_TRIM_RNUM logical blocks), so the block layer never sends a request that needs more than one page. Emit exactly one 512-byte page, independent of the logical sector size, and transfer only that page (COUNT == 1). For a 512-byte-sector device this is unchanged; devices with larger logical sectors now work instead of failing every TRIM.
