CVE-2026-104115: illumos reparse point daemon stack buffer overflow

CVE-2026-104115 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-09

The illumos reparse point daemon (reparsed), which handles filesystem reparse requests, contains a stack buffer overflow in its NFS reparse plugin. An unprivileged local user can send a specially crafted request to crash the daemon, causing the reparse service to enter maintenance mode and disrupting filesystem operations that depend on reparse functionality.

Technical details

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in get_fs_locations() within the nfs-basic reparse plugin (libnfs_basic.c), where host and path components from a reparse string are copied into a fixed 1024-byte stack buffer without length validation. The reparsed door at /var/run/reparsed_door is world-readable and performs no credential checking, allowing any local user to send an overlong host or path component to trigger the overflow. On systems with stack protection (the default), this causes reparsed to abort; repeated requests exhaust the service.
