GHSA-P4QC-CP8P-44WH

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-01 18:30 – Updated: 2025-04-11 15:32

Details

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

nvme-tcp: fix potential memory corruption in nvme_tcp_recv_pdu()

nvme_tcp_recv_pdu() doesn't check the validity of the header length. When header digests are enabled, a target might send a packet with an invalid header length (e.g. 255), causing nvme_tcp_verify_hdgst() to access memory outside the allocated area and cause memory corruptions by overwriting it with the calculated digest.

Fix this by rejecting packets with an unexpected header length.

Severity ?

7.8 (High)
