kernel: nvme-tcp: fix host memory disclosure on R2T for a read command

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express over TCP nvme-tcp component. A malicious NVMe controller can exploit this vulnerability by sending a Ready to Transfer R2T command for a read request. The host system, failing to properly validate the request direction, will...

kernel: nvme/ioctl: check SUBMIT_IO with nvme_cmd_allowed()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express input/output control ioctl handling. An unprivileged local user could exploit this vulnerability by bypassing access checks in the NVMEIOCTLSUBMITIO function. This allows them to perform unauthorized I/O operations on a...

kernel: nvme: add missing SRCU grace period in error path

A flaw was found in the NVMe Non-Volatile Memory Express driver of the Linux kernel. The nvmeallocns function's error handling path fails to wait for all SRCU Sleepable Read-Copy Update readers to complete before freeing a namespace structure. This oversight allows a concurrent reader to access a...

kernel: nvme-pci: fix mempool alloc size

A flaw was addressed in the Linux kernel’s nvme-pci driver related to how the driver calculated the worst-case number of PRP Physical Region Page lists required for a given I/O request. The implementation previously rounded the allocation to one list instead of correctly converting the maximum si...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-multipath: fixed the flex array size in struct nvmenshead The struct nvmenshead contains a flexible array member, currentpath, which is indexed using the NUMA node ID: head-currentpathnumanodeid The structure is currently...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: nvme-apple: Use acquire/release for queue-enabled state applenvmeinitqueue initializes the queue state and then marks the queue as enabled. The interrupt and request paths are checked before using that queue state. The old wmb...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-pci: ensure we’re polling a polled queue. A user can change the number of polled queues at runtime. There is a short window during a reset when a hipri task may try to poll that queue before the block layer has updated the...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-tcp: checks the data direction of a C2HData PDU The nvmetcphandlec2hdata function finds the request by command id and checks that it has a payload. However, it does not check that the command actually requested data to be...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerabilities have been resolved: nvme: fixed the SRCU protection for the nvmenshead list The process of walking the nvmenshead siblings list is protected by the head’s srcu in nvmensheadsubmitbio, but not in nvmempathrevalidatePaths. Removing namespaces from...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 6.1, Linux 5.15, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme: Avoid double-free of special payloads. If a discard request needs to be retried, and that retry may fail before a new special payload is added, a double-free will occur. Clear the RQFSPECIALLOAD when the request is cleaned...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux 5.10, Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-pci: fixed a NULL pointer dereferencing in nvmeallocadmintags. In nvmeallocadmintags, adminq can be set to an error typically -ENOMEM if the blkmqinitqueue call fails to set up the queue. This check is performed immediately...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme: fixed the lifetime of the admin requestqueue Namespaces can access the controller’s admin requestqueue, and stale references on the namespaces may exist after tearing down the controller. Ensure that the admin requestqueue ...
