AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
AV:N because iSCSI operates over TCP/IP; AC:H because exploitation requires attacker control of a reachable iSCSI target or MITM position, a non-trivial precondition beyond attacker control.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libiscsi: Fix stale-data leak into the SCSI sense buffer
iscsi_scsi_cmd_rsp() copies the sense data of a SCSI Response from the target-supplied data segment. The segment carries a 2-byte sense length followed by the sense bytes, so it must hold 2 + senselen bytes, but the bounds check only requires datalen >= senselen:
senselen = get_unaligned_be16(data); if (datalen < senselen) goto invalid_datalen; memcpy(sc->sense_buffer, data + 2, min_t(uint16_t, senselen, SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE));
A target that returns a SCSI Response whose datalen equals senselen (with senselen <= SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE) makes the memcpy() from data + 2 read up to two bytes past the received data. Those bytes are stale conn->data contents and end up in the command's sense buffer, which is returned to userspace.
Account for the 2-byte sense length prefix in the check.
AnalysisAI
Stale kernel memory leaks to userspace through an off-by-two bounds error in the Linux kernel's libiscsi subsystem, specifically in iscsi_scsi_cmd_rsp(). Systems running an iSCSI initiator (libiscsi loaded) that connect to a malicious or compromised iSCSI target are exposed: the target crafts a SCSI Response PDU where the data segment length equals the declared sense length, causing a memcpy() to read two bytes past the received buffer boundary into stale conn->data contents, which are then returned to userspace in the SCSI sense buffer. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) the target system must have the libiscsi kernel module loaded and an active iSCSI session established; (2) the attacker must control or compromise an iSCSI target that the victim initiator connects to, OR occupy a man-in-the-middle position on the iSCSI TCP stream. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | NVD assigned CVSS:3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (7.5), but the AC:L rating overstates exploitability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker operating a rogue iSCSI target on the storage network - or positioned as a man-in-the-middle on the iSCSI TCP session - waits for a Linux initiator to issue any SCSI command requiring a response. The attacker returns a crafted SCSI Response PDU where the data segment length field is set equal to the declared 2-byte sense length value, bypassing the off-by-two bounds check and causing the kernel's `memcpy()` to copy two stale heap bytes from `conn->data` into the SCSI sense buffer returned to the requesting userspace process. … |
| Remediation | The primary fix is to upgrade to a patched kernel: Linux 6.6.151, 6.12.103, 6.18.44, 7.1.8, or 7.2-rc6, applying the corresponding stable-tree patch from kernel.org (see commits 7567f06, 60499924, 3ef209ca, 1f07a897, or 98b87885 at https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify and inventory all Linux systems running iSCSI initiators (libiscsi) that connect to external or untrusted iSCSI targets, noting current kernel versions (no public exploit identified at time of analysis, supporting standard change management timeline). …
