Out-of-Bounds Read in Linux nvmet-tcp Causes Kernel Crash

Publication date: 2026-02-13

Last updated on: 2026-06-02

Assigner: kernel.org

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet-tcp: add bounds checks in nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() could walk past cmd->req.sg when a PDU length or offset exceeds sg_cnt and then use bogus sg->length/offset values, leading to _copy_to_iter() GPF/KASAN. Guard sg_idx, remaining entries, and sg->length/offset before building the bvec.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's nvmet-tcp component, specifically in the function nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec(). The function could read beyond the bounds of the cmd->req.sg array when a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) length or offset exceeds the number of scatter-gather entries (sg_cnt). This out-of-bounds access could cause the function to use invalid scatter-gather length or offset values, potentially leading to a general protection fault (GPF) or Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN) error during a memory copy operation (_copy_to_iter()).

Impact Analysis

The impact of this vulnerability could include system crashes or kernel faults due to invalid memory access. This could lead to denial of service conditions where the affected Linux system becomes unstable or unresponsive. Additionally, such faults might be exploitable to cause further security issues, although specific exploitability details are not provided.
