CVE-2026-53176 is a Linux kernel iSER target vulnerability in login-PDU processing. The login receive-completion handler subtracts the 76-byte iSER header length from a received work-completion byte length without first enforcing a minimum length. An undersized login PDU therefore produces a negative signed payload length. Subsequent processing preserves the negative value and passes it to memcpy(), where conversion to size_t yields a multi-gigabyte effective copy length. This causes memory access far beyond the fixed-size login request buffer and can fault the kernel.
