5.3 MEDIUM

Reaching the FDP path needs the ability to issue NVMe commands (PR:L) with FDP in use and a crafted index (AC:H); impact is chiefly out-of-bounds kernel memory read (C:H) with possible crash (A:L), not integrity loss.

vuln.today treats the vendor’s rating as authoritative. A higher third-party CVSS (e.g. CISA-ADP) is shown for transparency but does not drive the headline severity.

DescriptionCVE.org

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

nvme: fix FDP fdpcidx bounds check

The fdpcidx bounds check sets n = NUMFDPC + 1 but used > instead of >=, incorrectly accepting fdp_idx when it equals n (i.e. NUMFDPC + 1).

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds access in the Linux kernel NVMe Flexible Data Placement (FDP) code allows an attacker who can submit NVMe commands to read beyond the fdpcidx configuration array. An off-by-one in the fdpcidx bounds check (using '>' instead of '>=' against n = NUMFDPC + 1) accepts an index one element past the valid range, tagged by intelligence sources as an information-disclosure issue. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain local device access or connect as NVMe-oF initiator
Delivery
Craft NVMe command with fdpcidx = NUMFDPC + 1
Exploit
Off-by-one check accepts out-of-range index
Execution
Kernel reads past FDP config array
Impact
Disclose kernel memory or crash host

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the NVMe FDP (Flexible Data Placement) code path to be present and reachable, and the ability to submit an NVMe command carrying an attacker-chosen fdpcidx (FDP configuration index) equal to NUMFDPC + 1. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals conflict and should be reconciled before prioritizing. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker able to submit NVMe commands to a vulnerable host - either a local process with access to the NVMe device or a connected NVMe-over-Fabrics initiator - supplies an fdpcidx equal to NUMFDPC + 1, which the flawed check accepts. The kernel then indexes one entry past the FDP configuration array, reading adjacent kernel memory that may leak sensitive data or destabilize the kernel. …
Remediation Upgrade to a patched stable kernel - Vendor-released patch: 6.18.40, 7.1.5, or 7.2-rc1 (or your distribution's build incorporating the corresponding stable commit 5e406928404d / 5d0e7d2af884 / 0967074f6830 from git.kernel.org). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory systems running affected Linux versions 6.16 and later with NVMe FDP enabled and prioritize based on data sensitivity. …
