Pre-auth heap disclosure or crash via DHCHAP_REPLY bounds
Published Jul 25, 2026 · Updated Jul 25, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in nvmet-auth in affected Linux Kernel releases allows remote attackers to read heap memory or crash a target. nvmet_auth_reply() trusts the DHCHAP_REPLY hl and dhvlen fields and indexes rval beyond the tl-byte transfer buffer during DH-key handling or response comparison. The path is reachable before authentication when an NVMe-oF target has DH authentication configured, and reads can extend 526 bytes beyond the heap buffer.
