AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 27, 2026

Out-of-bounds heap read in the Linux kernel's nvmet-auth module allows pre-authentication remote attackers to read up to 526 bytes of heap memory beyond a crafted DHCHAP_REPLY message. By sending an NVMe-oF authentication reply with a small transfer length but inflated hash and DH value length fields, an unauthenticated attacker can extract sensitive data or cause a denial-of-service. Patches are available in upstream stable kernels.

DescriptionCVE.org

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

nvmet-auth: validate reply message payload bounds against transfer length

nvmet_auth_reply() accesses the variable-length rval[] array using attacker-controlled hl (hash length) and dhvlen (DH value length) fields without verifying they fit within the allocated buffer of tl bytes.

A malicious NVMe-oF initiator can craft a DHCHAP_REPLY message with a small transfer length but large hl/dhvlen values, causing out-of-bounds heap reads when the target processes the DH public key (rval + 2*hl) or performs the host response memcmp.

With DH authentication configured, the OOB pointer is passed directly to sg_init_one() and read by crypto_kpp_compute_shared_secret(), reaching up to 526 bytes past the buffer. This is exploitable pre-authentication.

Add bounds validation ensuring sizeof(*data) + 2*hl + dhvlen <= tl before any access to the variable-length fields.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
