Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52989)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds condition in nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() and the NVMe target TCP receive path when processing crafted PDU length or offset values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted network PDU to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because a fatal error is not propagated to callers, leaving cmd->recv_msg.msg_iter uninitialized before subsequent receive handling uses it.
