Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the `mpt3sas` driver within the Linux kernel. This vulnerability allows for oversized Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) input/output (I/O) operations due to improper size limitations. An attacker or a malicious NVMe device could exploit this by issuing I/O requests that exceed the driver's supported maximum. The primary consequence is a kernel oops, which can lead to a system crash.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-28 11:05:45 UTC

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

scsi: mpt3sas: Limit NVMe request size to 2 MiB

The HBA firmware reports NVMe MDTS values based on the underlying drive
capability. However, because the driver allocates a fixed 4K buffer for
the PRP list, accommodating at most 512 entries, the driver supports a
maximum I/O transfer size of 2 MiB.

Limit max_hw_sectors to the smaller of the reported MDTS and the 2 MiB
driver limit to prevent issuing oversized I/O that may lead to a kernel
oops.
